Carbohydrates play crucial roles in biological systems, including by mediating cell and protein interactions. The complexity and transient nature of carbohydrate-dependent interactions pose significant challenges for their characterization, as traditional techniques often fail to capture these low-affinity binding events. This review highlights the increasing utility of photocrosslinkers in studying carbohydrate-mediated interactions.

Pattern recognition receptor (PRR)-mediated perception of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) triggers the first line of inducible defenses in both plants and animals. Compared with animals, plants are sessile and regularly encounter physical damage by biotic and abiotic factors. A longstanding problem concerns how plants achieve a balance between wound defense response and normal growth, avoiding overcommitment to catastrophic defense.

Mechanisms that restrict class switch recombination (CSR) to IgE limit the subsequent production of IgE antibodies and therefore the development of allergic disease. Mice with impaired B cell receptor (BCR) signaling have significantly increased IgE responses, consistent with a role for BCR signaling in IgE regulation. While prior work focused on BCR signaling in IgE-expressing cells to explain these findings, it has been reported that BCR signaling can reduce CSR.
