🚨New bioRxiv alert! We are thrilled to share our latest findings—building on our earlier work on suppressors of helper NLRs of NRC family—a Phytophthora infestans L-shaped effector captures resistosome assembly intermediates of tomato NRC3! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/10

#2025ISMPMI 📣 In silico screening of PRR-epitope interactions is now possible! Here, we developed mamp-ml to predict their immunogenic outcomes without structural context. Let's accelerate engineering plant receptors for robust resistance!🚀🌱 Small🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

#ISMPMI2025 check out this beautiful #cryoEM structure! A pathogen L-shaped effector blocks resistosome assembly of a helper NLR 🤯

We are pleased to present our latest preprint. A comprehensive study by Mathias Brands et al. on the deconstruction of acetylated xylan by the activity of cooperative enzymes from the beneficial fungus Serendipita indica. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A clear message for young scientists: publish (CNS!) or perish — or at least, accept you may never be “one of us” 💔 But here’s the truth: you can have an extraordinary career without ever publishing in Cell, Nature, or Science. Success is about finding your community,

In 2007, physicist Freeman Dyson wrote an essay called “Our Biotech Future” for The New York Review. In it, he wrote: “I see a bright future for the biotechnology industry when it follows the path of the computer industry…becoming small and domesticated rather than big and

Had an awesome time at ISMPMI and the honour to present some of our work! Greatful for the oppurtunity to meet new people, catch up with friends, and see and discuss some great science! If you want to learn more the poster is up online: zenodo.org/records/158817…

Introducing PLOS is our speaker today Nonia Nonia Pariente — advancing open science. Hosted by no one other than our own #openscience champion Mauricio Contreras

bioRxiv has a dedicated section for negative results. Use it. Share negative results. Your colleagues will appreciate it.

Our new work lead by Anuphon. Cryo Structure of CARD1 reveals copper in the ecodomain, required for sensing H202. The phenotype of card1 is same as rbohd, suggesting ROS produced by RBOHD is sensed by CARD1.
