Engineering trees to be a more efficient and sustainable feedstock for biomass conversion

Ground-breaking experiments performed in the Dupree lab by Paul Dupree and Jan Lyczakowski were essential to understanding the ultrastructural effects of callose addition on the engineered wood in a paper published in Nature Plants.

Structure and dynamics of Toll immunoreceptor activation in the mosquito Aedes aegypti

The yellow fever mosquito ( Aedes aegypti ) has evolved to become an efficient vector for arboviruses, but the mechanisms of host-pathogen tolerance are unknown. The findings in this recent study thus explain how upregulation of Spz1C in the midgut and Toll5A in the salivary gland shape the concomitant immune response.

£19 million to investigate bold ideas in bioscience research
