The PtoERF1 ‐ PtomiR393a ‐ PtoFBL4 module confers drought tolerance via ABA –auxin crosstalk in Populus

Drought stress limits forest tree growth and adaptation, with xylem vessels critical for hydraulic transport and structural integrity. However, the molecular mechanisms of abscisic acid (ABA)-auxin interaction in regulating vessel morphogenesis under water-deficit conditions rema...

Benzothiazole derivatives target oligoadenylate synthetase and enhance RSV vaccine efficacy as adjuvants

2′,5’ oligoadenylate (2-5A) activates RNase L to degrade intracellular RNA and inhibit viral proliferation. The resulting nucleotide fragments bind RIG-I-like receptors to initiate type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling, enhancing maturation of antigen processing cells to trigger ad...
