This study identifies GfsA and GfsC as enzymes responsible for biosynthesis of β-(1→5)-galactofuranosyl residues in Aspergillus fumigatus, showing their roles in cell growth and virulence.

This study shows that Capsicum grown in sandy soils in Southern Japan has higher antioxidant and pungent component levels compared to traditional tropical-origin peppers.

This paper designs and evaluates two small-molecule Vβ3 antagonists that inhibit cell adhesion and bone resorption without inducing receptor conformational changes or enhancing angiogenesis at low concentrations.

The paper examines microbial consortia in soybean rhizosphere soils infected by root-knot nematodes, identifying anti-nematode fungal and bacterial taxa that co-occur in these environments.
