Very excited to see our review on metacaspases finally out in Cell Death & Differentiation! Grateful for the opportunity to summarise the current state of the field, thanks to everyone involved 🌱🤓

Check out our new review metacaspases in Cell Death & Differentiation @springernature.com . It´s not all about cell death, but more about survival 👇https://www.nature.com/articles/s41418-025-01555-y

The next frontier in #autophagy is understanding how it functions across cell types to maintain organismal homeostasis. w/ @moritznowack.bsky.social lab, we present TWO #preprint on cell type spec. autophagy in root hairs‼️ #plantscience www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Have a look at our new story on how Bacterial Cellulose works miracles in plant wound healing by activating regeneration via concurrent activation of ROS, defense and cytokinin signalling. In collaboration with @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social @icmabcsic.bsky.social
www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Exogenous bacterial cellulose induces plant tissue regeneration through the regulation of cytokinin and defense networks

Bacterial cellulose application concurrently targets cytokinin- and ROS-associated defense responses to induce plant regeneration.

Yesterday was a very special day for our lab. Paulina defended her thesis, and she did such an excellent job. I could not be more proud. Thanks a lot to the committee members @sramundo.bsky.social @pauligroup.bsky.social and Alexander Stein for their invaluable input and the fantastic discussions.

Silvia Ramundo @sramundo.bsky.social · Jan 30

I served on a special thesis committee yesterday, alongside the amazing @pauligroup.bsky.social. We discuss the work of Dr. Paulina Kettel, a fantastic student who has been mentored by two wonderful colleagues @gekaragoz.bsky.social and @evaschmid7.bsky.social. I am so lucky to have you around 🍀!

We are finishing the morning session on a high: Nuria Sanchez Coll is showing us a cool story that's being developed in her lab on #metacaspase proteins & #condensates. www.cragenomica.es/research-gro... #plantproteolysis2025

Bacterial plant diseases and plant proteostasis | CRAG | Centre for research in agricultural Genomics

Our team is interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms that control the interaction between pathogenic bacteria and plants to develop sustainable strategies to prevent and fight bacterial invasions in the field. Research in the lab focuses on 2 main areas:
