Post-translational modifications of an iron-responsive regulator drive Candida albicans commensalism in gastrointestinal tract.

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.

A phosphorylation circuitry balancing among kinase, transcription factor, transcription repressor, and phosphatase in response against host immunity during M. oryzae–rice interaction.

Mapping microbial landscapes in indoor environments can predict how contaminants and spoilage resistance genes propagate within food-production environments, yielding novel insight for controlling spoilage.

A plant immune receptor evolved recognition of caterpillar peptides through key molecular changes.

Gut microbiota dysbiosis increased Nos2 expression through the 'gut–lung axis', and altered intracellular antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory environment by abnormal NO, ROS, and Defb1, thereby promoting Mycobacteria colonization in mouse lungs.

The chitin-triggered immune response is mediated by a LYK5 and CERK1 receptor complex in Arabidopsis.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a protein called Ecp6, which is produced by a tomato fungus, reveals how the protein prevents plants from launching an immune response to the chitin in fungal cell walls.
