Sulfo-NHS-SS-Biotin: Practical Labeling Guide
2026-09-12
Sulfo-NHS-SS-Biotin provides a water-compatible way to label primary amines on proteins or cell-surface molecules for avidin/streptavidin capture and reversible analysis. It is best suited to fresh, short labeling workflows and should not be used when a permanent biotin tag is required or when reducing conditions would compromise the disulfide-linked label.

RSV NS3 Rewires Host Kinase Signaling
2026-09-11
Zhuang et al. show that Rice stripe virus NS3 does not simply suppress host defense; its abundance and phosphorylation state redirect the OsSnRK3.25–OsCBL1/3–OsRBOHF pathway across infection stages. The work explains how RSV balances pathogenicity, antiviral responses, plant cell death, and transmission between rice and its planthopper vector.

Candida krusei Triggers Distinct BMEC Apoptosis Pathways
2026-09-09
Miao et al. show that the yeast and hypha phases of Candida krusei induce bovine mammary epithelial cell apoptosis through different signaling routes. The study combines orthogonal cell-death assays with pathway analysis, identifying a predominantly mitochondrial response to yeast cells and a death ligand/receptor response to hyphae, with TLR2/ERK and JNK/ERK signaling involved in both contexts.
