Patterns of change in regulatory modules of chemical reaction systems induced by network modification

This paper develops a method to identify changes in buffering structures of chemical reaction networks caused by single degradation reactions, enabling prediction of regulatory changes without kinetic assumptions.

IRAK1-dependent Regnase-1-14-3-3 complex formation controls Regnase-1-mediated mRNA decay

This study identifies a novel interaction between Regnase-1 and 14-3-3 mediated by IRAK1 that stabilizes inflammatory mRNAs by inhibiting Regnase-1 activity.

Expression of a gene for an MLX56 defense protein derived from mulberry latex confers strong resistance against a broad range of insect pests on transgenic tomato lines

This study expresses the MLX56 gene from mulberry latex in transgenic tomato lines, showing strong resistance against multiple insect pests including lepidopteran larvae, thrips, and beetles.
