Abstract
The plant cell wall is always the physical barrier in which phytopathogenic fungi must overcome by producing an array of cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDEs) that allow them to invade host tissues through the degradation of cell wall components of plants. Magnaporthe oryzae is a causal agent of blast disease, one of the most devastating disease in rice resulting significant crop losses worldwide. The penetration of plant cuticle and cell walls induced by infection structures of M. oryzae has been known to be acquired by the association of turgor pressure and CWDEs for successful infection of M. oryzae. In this review, we focus on recent discoveries of M. oryzae CWDEs, gene regulation and their biological roles as fungal virulence factors and elicitors of host defense response leading to plant resistance against fungal pathogens.

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
