We have wondered what a complex archaeal cell might look like ever since 2014. It’s been a long road (and the journey is far from over), but it’s a good time to pause for breath and look. These Asgard archaeal cells are a surprise! And that is the joy of being a cell biologist.

Not sure if I understand the post correctly, but the same NLR recognizing structurally unrelated effectors was known for plants well before it was discovered in bacteria.
