Plants produce a wide diversity of compounds. Broadly, these are separated into primary metabolites, which are necessary for ...

Arthritis was induced in mice exposed to high blood levels of homocysteine. Hyper-homocysteinemia arthritic animals develop diastolic dysfunction (the left ventricle does not dilate properly) with ...

N6-methyladenosine (m 6 A) exerts many of its regulatory effects on eukaryotic mRNAs by recruiting cytoplasmic YT521-B homology-domain family (YTHDF) proteins. Here, we show that in Arabidopsis ...

Fungal infections and autoimmunity share a complex, bidirectional relationship that significantly impacts patient outcomes. Emerging evidence highlights how fungal pathogens contribute to autoimmune ...

EMBO Press is an editorially independent publishing platform for the development of EMBO scientific publications.

Plants that germinate in subterranean darkness grow heterotrophically from seed reserves. Under these conditions, hypocotyls elongate rapidly to reach the soil surface and ensure survival, while the ...

The NF-κB activation pathway is based on two fundamental processes. One pathway proceeds by proteolytic degradation of inhibitory IκB proteins, which retain NF-κB DNA-binding subunits in the cytosol.

During seedling deetiolation, plants adjust their development to expose photosynthetic tissues to sunlight, enabling the transition from heterotrophic to autotrophic growth. While various plant ...

The well-studied NF-κB signaling system is a key mediator of the inflammatory response. Large-scale sequencing studies in humans now allow initial insights into non-essential human genes in which both ...

Synaptic plasticity underlying long-term memory is associated with the generation of saturated free fatty acids (sFFAs) –particularly myristic acid– from membrane phospholipids by the phospholipase A1 ...

Quiescent cells have been described in different tumor types as a relatively small-sized subpopulation within the tumor characterized by a temporary and reversible cell cycle arrest (Nabil et al, 2021 ...
