Researchers devised a way to deliver drugs across the brain’s protective barrier using nanoparticles mimicking a fungal ...

Fungal infections kill millions of people each year, and modern medicine is struggling to keep up. But researchers at ...

After entering the host, the leading cause of fungal meningitis, Cryptococcus neoformans, rapidly adapts by shrinking in size and acquiring other characteristics that allow it to better infect the ...

Fungal infections are becoming deadlier as drug resistance spreads and treatment options stall. Researchers at McMaster University discovered that a molecule called butyrolactol A can dramatically ...

Ultimately, the goal is to find ways to stop deadly disease caused by Cryptococcus neoformans from developing in humans and animals. But until that time, finding new and better ways to treat already ...

A fungus that can change its shape to fit into your brain has been discovered by scientists. Cryptococcus neoformans (C. neoformans), a pathogenic fungus, can shape-shift itself to fit through the ...

Fungal infections kill millions of people each year, and modern medicine is struggling to keep up. But researchers at McMaster University have identified a molecule that may help turn the tide - ...

A fungus that is a common cause of fungal meningitis undergoes a remarkable transformation once it enters the body, allowing it to infect the brain, according to new research. The discovery could lead ...
