Resident microorganisms (microbiota) have far-reaching effects on the biology of their animal hosts, with major consequences for the host’s health and fitness. Some of these effects can be explained b
The pathogenesis of many retinal degenerations, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is punctuated by an ill-defined network of sterile inflammatory responses. The delineation of innate and
The zoonotic pathogen, Streptococcus suis, has been demonstrated to use the choroid plexus as an entry gate into the central nervous system, where it can induce meningitis. The global transcriptome of
Conchosporangia maturation is crucial for the yield of Pyropia/Porphyra. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this process are poorly understood. In this study, we selected two strains of Pyro
