A common plant virus awakens the immune system to fight cancer—and it’s grown using sunlight, soil, and science.

A virus that typically infects black-eyed peas is showing great promise as a low-cost, potent cancer immunotherapy—and ...

A virus from humble black-eyed peas is showing extraordinary promise in the fight against cancer. Unlike other plant viruses, the cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) can awaken the human immune system and ...

Scientists are using AI and genetic engineering to enhance plant immunity, offering a new defense against crop diseases.

The John Innes Centre (JIC) on the Norwich Research Park has launched a £500,000 research programme seeking to "borrow immunity principles" from all forms of life to protect major crops.

A virus that typically infects black-eyed peas is showing great promise as a low-cost, potent cancer immunotherapy—and ...

Researchers uncover intriguing parallels in plant and animal immune systems. Groups of proteins that are similar in both life forms rely on calcium levels to trigger an immune response ...

Innate immunity’s role in rejection Current immunosuppressive therapies primarily target T cells, the drivers of the adaptive immune response that recognizes and attacks transplanted organs.

In addition to regulating the production of salicylic acid, CPB60g activity also protects other immunity-related genes against heat. “We were able to make the whole plant immune system more ...

Scientists have long known that chloroplasts help plants turn the sun’s energy into food, but a new study, led by plant biologists at the University of California, Davis, shows that they are also ...
