Abstract
The Colletotrichum genus has been considered as one of the top 10 fungal pathogens in molecular plant pathology based on their scientific and agrobiological importance. Although the genus contains species with different lifestyles, most of the Colletotrichum sp. are known by their hemibiotrophic strategy of infection/invasion causing anthracnose disease in many economically important crops. Hemibiotrophy includes two sequential stages of infection, biotrophy and necrotrophy, in a series of steps that involve the participation of different virulence factors. In this review, we present the current status of the knowledge of such factors reported in this genus and a list of related genes identified in Colletotrichum sp. genomes.
Keywords: Biotrophy, Colletotrichum sp, hemibiotrophy, infection/invasion, necrotrophy, virulence factors.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
