Researchers devised a way to deliver drugs across the brain’s protective barrier using nanoparticles mimicking a fungal ...

A lab has completed a six-year study to examine the virulence of 38 clinical isolates from various strains of Cryptococcus. Ultimately, the goal is to find ways to stop deadly disease caused by ...

Fungal infections are becoming deadlier as drug resistance spreads and treatment options stall. Researchers at McMaster University discovered that a molecule called butyrolactol A can dramatically ...

Fungal infections kill millions of people each year, and modern medicine is struggling to keep up. But researchers at ...

Ultimately, the goal is to find ways to stop deadly disease caused by Cryptococcus neoformans from developing in humans and animals. But until that time, finding new and better ways to treat already ...

In a recent study published in Nature Microbiology, researchers examined metabolite-drug-fungal interactions in the fungal meningitis pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. Antibiotic resistance refers to ...

Scientists have uncovered a way to make existing antifungal drugs work again against deadly, drug-resistant fungi. Fungal infections claim millions of lives worldwide each year, and current medical ...

The study from the Stowers Institute and the University of Georgia uncovers more than 300 potential targets for drug development for a lethal fungus. Although humans and fungi bear little resemblance, ...

Researchers have discovered that a fungal pathogen called Cryptococcus neoformans transforms when it enters the body, and this transformation enables it to move into the brain. The findings, which ...
