Cellular uptake and viability switch in the properties of lipid-coated carbon quantum dots for potential bioimaging and therapeutics

This study examines how lipid-coating affects the uptake and viability of carbon quantum dots in cancer and epithelial cells, showing reduced toxicity and increased compatibility in non-cancerous cells.

The blast effector Pwl2 is a virulence factor that modifies the cellular localisation of host protein HIPP43 to suppress immunity.

This study identifies Pwl2 as a virulence factor in the rice blast fungus that suppresses host immunity by altering the localization of HIPP43.

Taxonomic vs genomic fungi: contrasting evolutionary loss of protistan genomic heritage and emergence of fungal novelties

This study analyzes gene family evolution across 123 fungal and related genomes to show gradual protist gene loss and episodic innovation in early fungal evolution.

Dual RNA-Seq profiling unveils mycoparasitic activities of Trichoderma atroviride against haploid Armillaria ostoyae in antagonistic interaction assays

This study uses dual RNA-Seq to analyze the transcriptomes of Trichoderma atroviride and Armillaria ostoyae during their antagonistic interaction, revealing biocontrol mechanisms and defense responses.

Pre-assembled Cas9 ribonucleoprotein-mediated gene deletion identifies the carbon catabolite repressor and its target genes in Coprinopsis cinerea

The paper uses CRISPR-based gene deletion to study Cre1's role in carbon catabolite repression in Coprinopsis cinerea, revealing its regulation of plant biomass degradation genes.

Lessons on fruiting body morphogenesis from genomes and transcriptomes of Agaricomycetes

This paper identifies 921 conserved genes involved in fruiting body morphogenesis across Agaricomycetes fungi and proposes functional hypotheses for many of them.

Hallmarks of basidiomycete soft- and white-rot in wood-decay -omics data of Armillaria

This study compares transcriptomic and proteomic data of two Armillaria species to understand their wood-decay mechanisms, finding that saprotrophic A. cepistipes shows more extensive changes than pathogenic A. ostoyae.

The genome of Auriculariopsis ampla sheds light on fruiting body development and wood-decay of bark-inhabiting fungi

This study sequenced the genome of Auriculariopsis ampla and analyzed its transcriptome to uncover genetic features related to wood-decay and fruiting body development in fungi.
