In a recent study published in the journal PLOS Pathogens, researchers discussed cryptic fungal pathogens, which are genetically distinct from pathogens but morphologically indistinguishable. Fungal ...

An international team of scientists led by researchers from the Department of Molecular Biosciences, The Wenner-Gren Institute, SciLifeLab, Stockholm University has published in PLoS Pathogens the ...

Thinking of fungi probably conjures up an image of some wild mushrooms or a sourdough starter in your mind. That, or maybe a time where you had an unfortunate itchy skin rash that went away with a bit ...

Neeraj Chauhan, Ph.D., an associate professor in the Center for Discovery and Innovation at Hackensack Meridian Health, explained the mechanisms behind antifungal resistance in Candida auris (C. auris ...

Higher environmental temperatures may trigger mutations in fungi that lead to increased infectivity, more aggressive growth or resistance to multiple anti-fungal medications. Microbiologist examining ...

From mushrooms to molds, fungal life on this planet is often overlooked – but has a big impact. In this series, we dive into fungal research across Duke, a growing area of strength for the university.

When weird fungal epidemics crop up in far-flung places, scientists work together to unravel how the microscopic murderers show up and turn deadly. The Great Alaska Earthquake rocked Anchorage in 1964 ...

Scientists have published the first successful application of 2-photon intravital microscopy (IVM) to image the dynamics of fungal infections in the kidney of a living host. The study reveals that the ...
