A fungus that can change its shape to fit into your brain has been discovered by scientists. Cryptococcus neoformans (C. neoformans), a pathogenic fungus, can shape-shift itself to fit through the ...

In lab culture tests, the team found that the engineered CAR T cells were able to bind to cells treated with GXM. Next, they were able to interact with the yeast form of C. neoformans, containing the ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (small rod-shaped bacteria) swarms toward and around a neighboring Cryptococcus neoformans (round yeast) colony. The thin fluid halo surrounding the yeast enables the bacteria ...

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 ...
