Very excited to see our review on metacaspases finally out in Cell Death & Differentiation! Grateful for the opportunity to summarise the current state of the field, thanks to everyone involved 🌱🤓

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

The next frontier in #autophagy is understanding how it functions across cell types to maintain organismal homeostasis. w/ @moritznowack.bsky.social lab, we present TWO #preprint on cell type spec. autophagy in root hairs‼️ #plantscience www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Exogenous bacterial cellulose induces plant tissue regeneration through the regulation of cytokinin and defense networks Bacterial cellulose application concurrently targets cytokinin- and ROS-associated defense responses to induce plant regeneration.

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

Yesterday was a very special day for our lab. Paulina defended her thesis, and she did such an excellent job. I could not be more proud. Thanks a lot to the committee members @sramundo.bsky.social @pauligroup.bsky.social and Alexander Stein for their invaluable input and the fantastic discussions.

Just in time for #plantproteolysis2025, @angegross.bsky.social et al Annual Review piece on #autophagy www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

We are finishing the morning session on a high: Nuria Sanchez Coll is showing us a cool story that's being developed in her lab on #metacaspase proteins & #condensates. www.cragenomica.es/research-gro... #plantproteolysis2025

Happy to share our latest @biorxiv-plants.bsky.social led by @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social “Effector-triggered processing body formation attenuates host translation via ER stress responses and autophagy upon bacterial infection” #proteostasis #plantimmunity 🧵(1/16)
