To uncover how the symbiosis between plants and fungi could improve sustainable agriculture, the Boyce Thompson Institute ...

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 ...

Antibiotic resistance is a known threat, but a “silent surge” of drug-resistant fungi is the next global health crisis.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

An international research team led by Cologne-based plant scientist Professor Dr. Bart Thomma from the Institute for Plant ...

A coalition of over 50 scientists has called for urgent global action against drug-resistant fungi, warning of a 'silent surge' in infections that are harder to treat. The group wants fungal disease ...

Cell division is one of the most fundamental processes of life. From bacteria to blue whales, every living being on Earth relies on cell division for growth, reproduction, and species survival. Yet, ...
