A Florida State University chemist has developed a method to rapidly assemble significantly complex natural molecules with potential for biomedical applications, opening the door for novel drug ...

With biochemical analysis, state-of-the-art imaging technology and computer simulations, research led by scientists at Michigan State University has shown how fungi remodel their cell walls to thwart ...

Most people carry the fungus Candida albicans on their bodies, without this causing many problems. However, a systemic infection with this fungus is dangerous and difficult to treat. Few ...

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 ...

Scientists at the University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center have used a sensitive screening approach and identified compounds that tackle fungal infections by interfering with microbial enzymes ...

The expression of symptoms of viral infections is a byproduct of complex virus-host molecular pathways. These remain largely unknown, especially in the case of fungus-virus pathogen systems. Fungal ...
