Seto has a plan. “If we found molecules produced by microorganisms that act on the strigolactone receptor, we could produce a ‘suicidal germination inducer’ using fermentation,” he explains.

For ILT and LIR molecules, inhibitory and activating receptors are described, but no rational nomenclature has been proposed. A single molecule can have two names, for example ILT2 is LIR1 and ...

Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have identified in a preclinical model a specific brain circuit whose inhibition appears to reduce anxiety without side effects.
