Parallel pathways of xylose metabolism identified in fungi that grow on plants can be used in yeast to promote hemicellulose conversion to biofuels.

Allorecognition in Neurospora crassa requires CWR-1 (cell wall remodeling protein), an essential process that ensures identity of an interconnected fungal syncytial colony and requires the CWR-1 polysaccharide monooxygenase domain, but not its catalytic activity.

The ability of photosynthetic algae to enter the hyphae of a soil fungus could tell us more about the evolution of these species.

The capacity for symbiosis between photosynthetic microalgae and early diverging lineages fungi was demonstrated with microscopy and stable isotope exchange of carbon and nitrogen.

A structural and biochemical study reveals the molecular mechanism of the predator–prey associations of Aplysia kurodai and brown algae (akuBGL–phlorotannin/laminarin–EHEP system), which has high-potential applications in the biotechnology industry.

Interplay between AML and stromal cells can initiate a mechanism involving gap junctions where ROS is transferred from cancer cells to stromal cells which then produce acetate which can in return be absorbed/utilised by the cancer cells.

Mechanistic insights show how treatment with apoA1 is anti-inflammatory by rapidly disrupting macrophage chemotaxis and monocyte recruitment.

An optimized CRISPR-Cas9 system enables multiplexed genome engineering for evolving biomolecules and pathways from chromosomally integrated DNA libraries.

Horizon scanning has been used to identify opportunities and risks presented by 20 emerging issues in the field of biological engineering.

A mammalian protein with RNA recognition motifs can be used in bacteria to engineer post-transcriptional regulation.
