Formula 1: The New Laboratory for Corporate Digital Transformation
Formula 1 has long served as a testing ground for major advances in the automotive industry. But in an era defined by data, artificial intelligence and distributed operations, its role as a laboratory extends far beyond mechanics. In this op-ed, Mark Banfield, Member of the Management Board and CRO at TeamViewer explains that F1 is now bringing to businesses a new model of efficiency, built on connectivity, remote collaboration and the ability to leverage information instantly.
La Formule 1, nouveau laboratoire de la transformation numérique des entreprises
L'infrastructure numérique au cœur de la compétition Les chiffres parlent d’eux-mêmes. Une monoplace moderne génère plusieurs téraoctets de données par week-end de course. Mais la vraie rupture n’est pas dans le volume, elle est dans l’usage. Chaque milliseconde de latence peut faire basculer un podium. Dans cet environnement, l’IT n’est plus une fonction support, mais le système nerveux de la performance. Ce basculement force les écuries à repenser radicalement leur organisation.

Molecular mimicry of a pathogen virulence target by a plant immune receptor
Editor’s summary Abstract Supplementary Materials References and Notes Information & Authors Metrics & Citations Check Access References Figures Tables Media Share Editor’s summary Plant intracellular immune receptors detect effector proteins secreted by pathogens, but how these receptors evolve new detection capabilities is not well understood. Gómez De La Cruz et al. found that a barley receptor called MLA3 has evolved to resemble the very host protein that a blast fungus effector targets.
The emerging role of kinase fusion proteins in cereal immunity - Nature Genetics
Abstract Kinase fusion proteins (KFPs) are an emerging class of diverse intracellular plant immune receptors with critical roles in immunity in wheat (Triticum aestivum) and other members of the Triticeae. These proteins contain at least one kinase domain fused to one or more additional domains, possibly including another kinase domain.
Mismatch screening in Nicotiana benthamiana to explore Pik‐1/Pik‐2 paired NLR platforms for receptor engineering
Nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat (NLRs) proteins are the major class of plant intracellular immune receptors that recognise pathogen effectors, with activation triggering defence responses. Molecular engineering of NLRs can be an effective and reliable method to obtain new effector recognition specificities with the potential to tackle established and emerging plant diseases in modern agriculture (Zdrzalek et al., 2023; Dodds et al., 2024).
Hybrid work is here - but is the infrastructure?
Two people video conferencing with others on a screen. AI-driven workflows are quietly redefining what productivity means in hybrid work. Real-time collaboration, digital upskilling, and intelligent automation are emerging as the real markers and drivers of success – not whether people are physically in the office. Yet digital friction remains a silent killer of productivity gains.

PME et IA générative, moteur de l'industrie 4.0 et de la souveraineté numérique
PME et IA générative : adoptées plus vite que par les grandes, elles doivent transformer l'essai en résultats concrets via formation, culture et intégration pour rester moteur de l'industrie 4.0. Les petites entreprises adoptent l’IA plus vite que les grandes. Toutefois, pour maximiser cet avantage, elles doivent allier rapidité et stratégie. L’IA n’est plus une considération future, mais une priorité actuelle.
SMBs believe they’re leading the AI charge, but a change in approach is needed to deliver lasting impact
AI is no longer a future consideration – it’s a present priority. And small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) are wasting no time. Without the red tape and legacy systems of larger corporations, SMBs have moved quickly to test incorporating tools like ChatGPT into their daily workflows. But here’s the problem: early adoption doesn’t necessarily equal long-term impact. Too many businesses are experimenting without execution.

Digital transformation: Addressing key challenges in healthcare
Healthcare, like every other industry, has undergone massive digital transformation in the last decade but there is still a long way to go. When we think about digitising workplaces, we think office workers sat at their desks and computers. But in reality, a digital workplace can be anywhere that a worker is, hospitals, GP offices, in a patient’s home or even in a truck that travels to remote areas in the country. And it is these workplaces that can often see the most benefits from digitising.
Dynamics in the Phytophthora capsici effector AVR3a11 confirm the core WY domain fold
Abstract Oomycete pathogens cause large economic losses in agriculture through diseases such as late blight (Phytophthora infestans), and stem and root rot of soybean (Phytophthora sojae). The effector protein AVR3a, from P. infestans, and its homologue AVR3a11 from P. capsici, are examples of host-translocated effectors that interact with plant proteins to evade defence mechanisms and enable infection.
Molecular mimicry of a pathogen virulence target by a plant immune receptor
Abstract 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 pathogen infection by sensing virulence effector proteins. However, the mechanisms by which receptors evolve new recognition specificities remain poorly understood.
