Bruno Ngou @brunongou.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Excited to share that I will start my lab this summer as an ECL Unit Leader at RIKEN CSRS! We will study perception by cell-surface receptors across diverse plant species. I’ll be recruiting soon, so please reach out if you’re interested! 66218
Bruno Ngou @brunongou.bsky.social · 24/03/2026Cell-surface receptors play key roles across many biological processes. In plants, these receptor families have undergone remarkable expansion. Here, we systematically review these receptors in @theplantjournal.bsky.social Happy to see this out! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...onlinelibrary.wiley.comPlant cell surface receptorsPlant cell surface receptors have evolved to perceive peptides, proteins, glycans, lipids, and small molecules through diverse ectodomains, integrating these inputs into distinct physiological output.... 23823
