Host response: Fungal safeguards in the gutThis study reports that commensal enteric fungi provide protection against infection in local intestinal and non-intestinal systemic tissues and enhance systemic immunity.doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2017.155YorkAshley...
In the 2023 American post-apocalyptic drama television series "The Last of Us," humans are plunged towards extinction as a fungal infection of the brain zombie-fies most of the species. This may seem far-fetched but fungi can, and do, infect human brains. Fungi are present everywhere in ou...

Fungi are associated with superficial infections of the skin or subcutaneous tissues, but may also cause invasive disease, even in immunocompetent hosts. In immunocompetent patients, a large inoculum of endemic fungi (e.g., Coccidioides) may cause severe invasive infection. In heavily ...
Gut microbial dysbiosis occurring during pulmonary fungal infection in rats is linked to inflammation and depends on healthy microbiota composition While the effect of gut microbiota and/or inflammation on a distant body site, including the lungs (gut–lung axis), has been well characterized, data ...
SsPEIE1 is an essential virulence factor ofSclerotinia sclerotiorum. SsPEIE1 interacts with the key immune factor AtHIR4 and inhibits AtHIR4 oligomerization-mediated immune responses in Arabidopsis, thereby promotingS. sclerotioruminfection. Xiaofan Liu ...

step in the development of these deadly infections. In this review, we discuss our current understanding of how fungi disseminate from the initial infection sites to the bloodstream, how immune cells eliminate fungi from circulation and how fungi leave the blood and enter distant organs, ...
Amplicon-based mycobiome analysis has the potential to identify all fungal species within a sample and hence could provide a valuable diagnostic assay for use in clinical mycology settings. In the last decade, the mycobiome has been increasingly characte
Millions have been tuning in every week to watch the highly anticipated TV adaptation of "The Last of Us." The show depicts a post-apocalyptic world where society has collapsed due to the outbreak of a dangerous, brain-controlling fungal infection that t
