Check out our new review metacaspases in Cell Death & Differentiation @springernature.com . It´s not all about cell death, but more about survival 👇https://www.nature.com/articles/s41418-025-01555-y

Fantastic plenary talk by Nuria Coll @bactodeath.bsky.social on how to use metabolic engineering to make plants resistant to vascular pathogens #2025ISMPMI

Great to catch up on plant cell death ...

The PR1-derived CAPE1 peptide confers resistance in tomato to Ralstonia solanacearum, the causing agent of bacterial wilt. Check our new publication @jxbotany.bsky.social academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-...

Jierui Zhao (Dagdas Lab @plantophagy.bsky.social ) shows that cell-fate dependent upregulation of autophagic flux in Arabidopsis root hair cells promotes plant salt stress resilience by sodium ion sequestration to the vacuole www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Very excited to share the final version of our story on Arabidopsis autoimmunity @emboreports.org www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Big day for the lab today! Nerea Ruiz-Solaní obtained her PhD with an amazing defense and an amazing jury! Congratulations Nerea 👏

Qiangnan Feng (Nowack lab @moritznowack.bsky.social @psb-vib.bsky.social ) shows that cell-type specific elevated autophagy in root hairs extends their lifespan by suppressing premature senescence and age-induced programmed cell death www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Biological band-aids for plants? 🩹🌿 A study just published at #ScienceAdvances from Núria Sánchez-Coll’s lab at CRAG @bactodeath.bsky.social reveals that bacterial cellulose promotes plant tissue regeneration via two key mechanisms 👀

The research was co-led by Miguel Ángel Moreno Risueño from CBGP @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social & in collaboration with @icmabcsic.bsky.social and the #ColoradoStateUniversity You can read more details about it here 🔗 https://buff.ly/3CPHAyu

Have a look at our new story on how Bacterial Cellulose works miracles in plant wound healing by activating regeneration via concurrent activation of ROS, defense and cytokinin signalling. In collaboration with @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social @icmabcsic.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New paper alert! The Dagdas group @plantophagy.bsky.social discovered that the molecule ATG8 protects the vacuole when the cell wall is damaged. This mechanism ensures that the highly pressured vacuole, essential to the plant cell, remains intact. Read more: bit.ly/4aLCZK9

Happy to share our new preprint on the role of the metacaspase AtMC1 in immunity: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
