Congratulations to Shuai Huang who was featured on the ASC podcast Voices of Excellence. Take a few minutes to hear him discuss how plan cells defend themselves even without specialized immune cells, by temporarily grouping key defense molecules inside into temporary, liquid-like droplets (biomolecular condensates) that act as emergency command centers. The Huang lab's research focuses on how these condensates may help engineer hardier crops that can withstand disease and climate stress.
