Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Extreme events induced by climate change alter nectar offer to pollinators in cross pollination-dependent crops

open access: yesScientific Reports
Both severe reductions and increases in rainfall can stress plants and modify floral traits involved in plant-pollinator interactions, such as nectar production.

Advances in Structural Characterization and Functional Properties of Animal-Plant Mixed Proteins

open access: yesShipin gongye ke-ji, 2023
In recent years, mixed protein systems composed of animal and plant proteins have gradually attracted the attention of researchers. Numerous studies have shown that mixing animal and plant proteins can improve the processing functional properties of ...

Molecular aspects of plant disease susceptibility: Arabidopsis genes affecting downy mildew infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Interactions of plants with pathogenic microorganisms are influenced by multiple biotic and abiotic factors. The host immune system can detect pathogens and restrict their growth and development, but also non-immunity related host factors and processes ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Can we use plant performance as indicators to infer plant-crab interactions in coastal saltmarshes?

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Increasing effort has been devoted to restoring coastal ecosystems to counteract their degradation globally. Restoration success of coastal ecosystems often relies on harnessing biotic interactions that shape the performance of foundation plant species ...

Plant endophytes and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi alter plant competition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In nature, grasses simultaneously establish multiple symbiotic associations with endophytic fungi and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The effect of these multiple interactions on competitive interactions between plants remains poorly understood.

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Nectar Replaced by Volatile Secretion: A Potential New Role for Nectarless Flowers in a Bee-Pollinated Plant Species

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
The presence of nectarless flowers in nectariferous plants is a widespread phenomenon in angiosperms. However, the frequency and distribution of nectarless flowers in natural populations, and the transition from nectariferous to nectarless flowers are ...
