Plant pests such as bacteria and fungi lead to significant yield losses in agriculture. In order to develop new strategies ...

and to calcium ionophores and phorbol esters, which in combination elicited a full 'T cell–activation' response but individually could be used to distinguish signaling pathways activated by ...

In immune cells, scaffold proteins have an important role in the regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase activation, calcium signalling, signalling downstream of innate immune receptors and ...

Biologists have identified important components and mechanisms of the molecular machinery that transmits information about a pathogen encounter within the plant organism.

New research has identified crucial components and mechanisms of the plant immune system, potentially helping to develop ...

When plants are infected by pathogens, they mount a two-phase immune response ... enables this weak calcium signal to spread from cell to cell without disrupting other signalling calcium-dependent ...

Previous studies revealed that genetically altering mice to lack calcium signaling in their immune system's T cells resulted in dysfunction in one particular type of T cell—regulatory T cells ...

Furthermore, calcium waves also triggered an immune response ... rotavirus disease severity and host cell responses to this aberrant level of calcium signaling," Hyser said.

Plant pests such as bacteria and fungi lead to significant yield losses in agriculture. In order to develop new strategies against such pathogens ...
