Critical Care - Influenza-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (IAPA) is a frequent and often fatal complication of severe influenza in critically ill patients. Despite increased recognition, its...

The ‘mycobiome’ refers to the hundreds of species of fungi that normally live on and in our body.

MIBTP is a UK-wide doctoral training programme that equips bioscience PhD students with interdisciplinary skills to tackle global challenges in agriculture, health, and sustainability.

The latest survey from ECDC, the fourth of its kind, confirms that Candidozyma auris (formerly Candida auris) continues to spread quickly across European hospitals.

A mycovirus infecting the pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus enhances its stress tolerance and virulence in mice.

The fungi within our bodies may have a much greater effect on our health than we've long given them credit for.

Epithelial cells at barrier sites are emerging as active participants in innate immune memory, yet the underlying metabolic and epigenetic mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we uncover a previously unre...

Imidazole propionate produced by gut microbiota is associated with atherosclerosis in mouse models and in humans, and causes the development of atherosclerosis through activation of the imidazoline-1 ...

Upon pathogen detection, phagocytes trigger immunity. This process induces tissue stress and the formation of host-derived molecules that further tune immune responses. We show that host-derived oxidi...

The fungus Aspergillus fumigatus tops the World Health Organization's list of worrying fungal diseases. It's growing increasingly resistant to the first-line drug used to treat it.

Genetic predisposition plays a major role in the development of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). The risk and course of IPA vary significantly among patients, yet continuously new genetic mechanisms that influence individual antifungal immune responses are being discovered

Here, the authors use single-cell spatial transcriptomics to profile the airway wall landscape in health and during asthma. Discrete proinflammatory ecosystems containing alarmins, chemokines and a un...

Nature Reviews Microbiology, Published online: 02 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41579-025-01180-zIn this Review, van de Veerdonk and colleagues explore Aspergillus fumigatus biology, the host immune responses and the fungal mechanisms of immune evasion, as well as emerging challenges such as virus-associated pulmonary aspergillosis and azole resistance, and reflect on future directions for therapeutics and patient care improvement.

To combat long-overlooked fungal pathogens, researchers and regulators must embrace innovative science and policy.

<p>Tal como na malária, também não existe uma vacina contra o fascismo. Apenas a educação, a liberdade, a justiça e a empatia nos podem proteger</p>

Fungi can keep us healthy or cause disease. As climate change drives fungi to adapt, learn how we can harness the benefits and tackle the threats.

In this Review, Hube and colleagues overview the commensal and pathogenic lifestyles of Candida albicans, focusing on how the fungus transitions between these two states, the fungal and host factors i...

🌱♻️ Giving lab plastic a new life? Yes, it’s possible! At ICVS, we believe science and sustainability should go hand in hand. Thanks to our partnership with Oiá Plast, all the hard plastic used in o...
