Innate immunity is a foundational field in immunology, critical for understanding how organisms sense and respond to danger, be it pathogens or sterile ...

Plants are continuously evolving new immune receptors to ever-changing pathogens. Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) have traced the origin and evolutionary ...

AlphaFold has been used to predict how targeted immune receptor engineering could lead to increased disease resistance in plants. Scientists at the University of California, Davis (CA, USA), have ...

Non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome are rising globally, while infectious diseases, ...

Before invaders can be stopped, they must first be detected, and this is accomplished by pattern recognition receptors located on the surface of plant cells. The ability of these receptors to detect ...
