Chemical and Ultrastructural Changes in the Cuticle Observed in RabA2b Overexpressing Plants
PlantsThe plant cuticle is a hydrophobic layer covering the cell wall that protects cells from pathogen invasion and water loss. In this study, we analyzed the cuticles of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants overexpressing the vesicular trafficking small ...

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Condensed tannins act as anthelmintics by increasing the rigidity of the nematode cuticle
Scientific Reports, 2022 Tannins and tanniferous plant extracts have been discussed as sustainable means for helminth control in the past two decades in response to a dramatic increase of resistances towards standard anthelmintics.

The role of miR‐335‐5p in the redifferentiation of BRAF p.V600E thyroid cancers
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The BRAF p.V600E mutation promotes thyroid cancer dedifferentiation and radioiodine resistance. Using a network approach, we identified miR‐335‐5p as a key regulator of BRAF‐mutated thyroid tumors. Restoring miR‐335‐5p increased thyroid‐specific gene expression and iodine uptake in cells and organoids.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 The agricultural industry requires improved efficacy of sprays being applied to crops and weeds to reduce their environmental impact and increase financial returns. One way to improve efficacy is by enhancing foliar penetration. The plant leaf cuticle is

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Cuticle Micromorphology of Parasitaxus de Laubenfels (Podocarpaceae).
, 1995 Cuticle micromorphology of three collections of the parasitic conifer Parasitaxus ustus (Vieillard) de Laubenfels (Podocarpaceae) was studied with scanning electron microscopy.

Sorptive Properties of Plant Cuticle [PDF]
, 1957 Before a foliar applied chemical can contact plant protoplasm, it must cross a barrier of cuticle, present on either the external (14) or internal (18) surfaces of the plant.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

Adaptation of cuticle metabolism to abiotic stress in plants
Crop and EnvironmentThe cuticle, primarily composed of waxes and cutin polyesters, is a hydrophobic layer that covers the surfaces of plant tissues, evolving as physiological and biochemical adaptations to diverse environments.
