Molecular Chaperone Networks in Plants: Maintaining Proteostasis and Enhancing Stress Resilience for Crop Improvement

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Molecular chaperones play a central role in the plant proteostasis machinery by aiding the folding of nascent proteins, preventing aggregation, and repairing or degrading damaged proteins. These functions are especially essential during abiotic and biotic stress, which can destabilise cellular proteins and disrupt metabolic homoeostasis.

Theoretical Model of Chemomechanical Self‐Oscillation in a Two‐Enzyme Core–Shell Hydrogel With pH‐Gated Microcapsules

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 5, September 2026.
A closed chemo‐mechanical feedback system is constructed using a GOx/urease core–shell hydrogel with pH‐responsive microcapsules. Proton generation triggers urea release, activating urease and restoring pH, resulting in autonomous swelling–deswelling oscillations.

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction

PROTEOMICS, Volume 26, Issue 8, Page 9-28, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Contact of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with macrophages induces adaptations on both bacterial and cellular sides. The study presented here was aiming to shed light on the simultaneous intracellular adaptation of the bacteria and changes in the proteome of the phagocytes in response to the internalization of C. diphtheriae.
