A group of scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have conducted neutron scattering research to reveal key information about fungus cell membranes that could aid in ...

Scientists have discovered that the most widely-used class of antifungals in the world causes pathogens to self-destruct. The University of Exeter-led research could help improve ways to protect food ...

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 ...

Fungi are everywhere. Fungal films coat surfaces around us, and a fog of microscopic spores permeates the air. These ubiquitous microbes usually cause us no harm, but opportunistic species can take ...
