At Duke University, two researchers are studying what happens when heat changes fungi at the most fundamental level and ...

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 ...

For about half the global population, rice is the staple food. Yet every year, a fungal disease—rice blast—destroys harvests ...

Researchers at the University of Guelph have developed a faster way to identify potential drug targets against a dangerous ...

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 ...

An organism as a tenant in another - in biology, this often works quite well. ETH researchers have now shed light on how such a partnership of a cell in a cell can establish. Endosymbiosis is a ...

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 ...

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 ...

A newly discovered bacterial weapon against fungi can kill even drug-resistant strains, raising hopes for a new antifungal drug. Bacteria are masters at fending off fungi, says Martin Burke, a chemist ...

Swiss researchers claim to have devised a functional living battery powered by the combined efforts of two types of fungi – all in a biodegradable, non-toxic 3D-printed package. I'll give you a second ...
