Croll lab at University of Neuchatel. The lab of Daniel Croll wants to understand how pathogens evolve to cause disease. For this, we mainly focus on major crop pathogens to unravel mechanisms of rapi...

Slack is a new way to communicate with your team. It’s faster, better organized, and more secure than email.

Plants and animals respond to pathogen attack by mounting innate immune responses that require intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins. These immune receptors detect pathog...

Helitrons are a recently identified category of transposons. This study reveals that heat stress combined with reduced DNA methylation can mobilize a Helitron family in wheat. Its mobilization is gene...

Nature Microbiology, Published online: 11 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41564-026-02356-wThis study presents a pooled CRISPRi screening approach in Candida albicans to investigate essential genes at scale, revealing environment- and strain-dependent gene sensitivities and conserved vulnerabilities relevant to antifungal drug discovery.

Fungal effectors may have evolved from ancient antimicrobials, shaping plant microbiota and immunity during infection.
