Structural basis for size-selective perception of chitin in plants

Plants detect microbes through pattern recognition receptors that perceive conserved microbial surface motifs known as microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs). Lysin motif (LysM) receptors recognize and mediate downstream responses to chitinous MAMPs. In this study, we eluc...

Decoupling the Role of Nanoparticle Rigidity and Chemistry in Particle Transport through the Brain Parenchyma

Abstract Drug delivery to the brain involves challenging transportation across multiple biological barriers. Despite the great tunability of polymeric nanoparticles, the synthetic challenge of varying the physical property of a nanoparticle without varying its chemical formulatio...
