I'm interested in the morphology, development, and evolution of bryophytes.
I listened to a seminar related to this work. Membrane topology inversion is very interesting.

Membrane topology inversion of GGCX mediates cytoplasmic carboxylation for antiviral defense
Mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) is an adaptor involved in antiviral immunity, but its regulation is not fully understood. We identified carboxylation of MAVS by vitamin K (VK)–depende...

Bryophytes hold a larger gene family space than vascular plants | Dong et al. (2025) Nature Plants rdcu.be/eKcyO

This is definitely interesting and important to bryophyte research. I feel this way, but I haven't finished reading it yet. I have no idea when I will finish reading this paper. 😅

Parasitic‐Plant Parasite Rewires Flowering Pathways to Induce Stem‐Derived Galls
Gall-inducing insects manipulate host plant development, redirecting cellular fate and physiological processes to form novel structures. This phenomenon is even more intriguing when the host itself i...

To promote the collection, I’ve launched a designer clothing line where synthetic biology meets aesthetics.

I will give out 100 free limited edition shirts to the first who retweet and order with their handle in the name! Available here → nickdesnoyer.com 🧵(6/7)

I went to Mt. Norikura at northern Japanese alps last weekend for TA works. The environment was very unique and many plants I’ve never seen were there. Going back to the base, I saw the dynamic changes of the vegetation from alpine zone to subalpine zone. It was a good experience for me.

Dear US colleagues,
In response to the Trump administration, my university @univ-amu.fr is setting up a new program dedicated to welcoming American scientists wishing to pursue their work in France.
There are several M$ in the budget.
