Plants deploy a multilayered defence system to detect and counteract invading pathogens, integrating physical barriers, cellular surveillance and biochemical responses. The primary barrier comprises ...

Fighting infection in the gut relies on a dynamic relationship between the cells that line gut walls and microbiota – the hundreds of different bacteria that co-exist within the human body without ...

The other two studies focused on Phytophthora infestans, the pathogen responsible for potato late blight, the disease linked ...

Light serves as a critical environmental cue that modulates both plant immunity and pathogen behaviour. In plants, specialised photoreceptors—such as phytochromes (red/far‐red light sensors), ...

The rise of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens presents a serious threat to human and animal health, potentially leading to millions of deaths in the coming ...
