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 ...

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 ...

Serious fungal infections are on the rise, and many hospital-acquired cases are becoming harder to treat as fungi become ...

Blacksburg, Va. – Scientists at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute and Duke University Medical Center have pinpointed a fungal gene that appears to play an important role in the development and ...

Scientists now have a deeper understanding of how a fungus develops a symbiotic lifestyle inside grass leaf and why the grass leaf fails to defend itself against the intruder, thanks to research ...

A research team revealed the molecular architecture of fungal cell walls and the structural responses to stresses, aiding the development of antifungal drugs targeting cell wall components. In a new ...

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 ...

From plant stems to bacterial shells, cell walls are far more than rigid barriers—they’re living, adapting structures.

Garden fungus doesn’t just ruin leaves—it quietly sabotages entire harvests. Powdery mildew, damping-off, and leaf spot ...
