Plants are constantly on guard. Their roots are equipped with molecular alarm systems that detect invading microbes and ...

Fungi are everywhere, and in many cases, a fungal infection can be eliminated by a person's immune system. But fungal infections can also send long hyphae into the body that are extremely difficult to ...

Two new research studies are addressing the rising threat of fungal infections, which can be very difficult to treat. One study has examined the cell walls of fungi to look for weaknesses, while ...

An international research team led by Konrad Meister from Boise State University’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research has identified a new class ...

In a new study published in Nature Communications, Associate Professor Tuo Wang and his research team from the Department of Chemistry at Louisiana State University revealed the molecular architecture ...

Researchers at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) have published new findings in Molecular and Cellular Proteomics on critical cellular processes triggered when cells respond to ...

A mouse study by researchers at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine demonstrated that a specific type of T cell produces cytokines that are necessary for the body to acquire ...

Can fungi influence the weather? Turns out, they just might. An international group of researchers that includes Virginia ...

Researchers have identified a specific T cell that produces cytokines necessary for immunity against fungal pathogens. The finding could hasten development of effective fungal vaccines. Fungal ...

Numerous species of fungi exist in cancer cells and differ by tumor type, according to findings from a large study of multiple sample types across 35 different cancers. The investigators characterized ...
