Variations of cold shock proteins (CSPs) are found in more than 85% of known bacteria, as well as fungi and insects. The ...

Scientists from the Riken Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan have identified an ancient protein that, with modifications, could confer broad-spectrum protection for plants against ...

In the unending war between plants and pathogens, our crops are usually on the defensive. The ubiquitous armies of bacteria, fungi, and viruses are constantly laying siege to the fields that feed the ...

Researchers describe a new manner of detecting microbial infection that intercepts pathogen-derived signals of growth to assess the relative threat of virulent bacteria. A nuclear hormone receptor in ...

Dendritic cell receptors, in particular C‐type lectins such as DC-SIGN, play a pivotal role in the immune response by recognising and internalising diverse glycan structures present on pathogens. The ...

It’s a common, straightforward idea in science: When a viral, bacterial, or parasitic pathogen sneaks its way into a host and tries to infect cells, the immune system detects its presence and mounts a ...

Previous work by a team of researchers led by Steven N. Fiering, PhD, Immunology and Cancer Immunotherapy researcher at Dartmouth's and Dartmouth-Hitchcock's Norris Cotton Cancer Center and Nicole ...

This study is led by Dr. Xin Lin (Institute for Immunology of Tsinghua University). They find that the upstream regulator of NF-κB, B-cell lymphoma 10 (Bcl10), is involved in regulating the natural ...
