This study shows that GA-related compounds in liverworts modulate far-red light responses, revealing evolutionary conservation and functional divergence in GA biosynthesis.

This study develops a method to selectively label intercellularly contacting cells using chemoenzymatic approaches, validated by microscopy and flow cytometry.

This study identifies BSB, an ancestral strigolactone in bryophytes, which functions as a rhizosphere signal for AM symbiosis and was later co-opted as a plant hormone.

This study identifies clonal subpopulations in glioblastoma core and edge lesions and shows that NAD+ depletion via CD38 inhibition reduces tumor edge formation.

This study shows that aging reduces neuronal signaling in gliomas, but NAD+ and BDNF can reverse these effects, improving outcomes in older mice.

This study identifies thermostable mutants of PcCel6A, a glycoside hydrolase family 6 cellobiohydrolase, by analyzing the impact of cysteine residues on thermal stability.

This study identifies LjMAX1 as the key enzyme in Lotus japonicus strigolactone biosynthesis, showing it converts carlactone to 18-hydroxycarlactonoic acid, a precursor for both canonical and non-canonical strigolactones.

The paper shows that strigolactone biosynthesis compensates for wall hypoacetylation defects in Arabidopsis, suggesting SL pathway activation is a response to wall structural changes.
