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 ...

The fungal cell wall is a dynamic, multilayered matrix that provides mechanical strength, defines cellular morphology and mediates interactions with the environment. Its core framework comprises ...

The fungal cell wall is a dynamic structure essential for maintaining cell shape, protecting against environmental stress and mediating host interactions. Central to its maintenance is the cell wall ...

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 ...

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

From plant stems to bacterial shells, cell walls are far more than rigid barriers—they’re living, adapting structures. Scientists are uncovering how they maintain shape, remodel themselves, and even ...

That question sits at the center of Dr. Natalie Hoffmann's research – and it's what earned her the inaugural Jane Silverthorne Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Boyce Thompson Institute (BTI).

Cell lines represent a particularly tight bottleneck in biomanufacturing. Conventional cell lines—such as those used in CHO, bacterial, and baculovirus–insect cell expression systems—reveal their ...

India needs improved expertise and tools to effectively manage the growing burden of fungal infections and related health ...

Fungal infections are no longer just a problem for the immunocompromised—they’re evolving, spreading, and resisting our limited antifungal drugs. From stealthy immune evasion to genetic mutations, ...
