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.

Gene editing and many other useful biotechnology tools came from studies of bacteria fighting off viral invaders. But scientists have only begun to unlock the secrets of this ancient arms race.

Abstract. Textbooks remain a primary source of reference and education for many health care professionals and students. This study assessed the mycology co

Traditional peer review is slow, often delayed by the time-consuming process of identifying reviewers and lengthy review turnaround times. This study tests the feasibility of the Fast & Fair peer revi...

In yeast, the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeler RSC orchestrates nucleosome positioning at promoters, yet the molecular determinants guiding RSC to chromatin remain unclear. Here, we investigate the RSC sub...

In red are the proposed improvements to the classical yeast transformation protocol.

Genome-wide hypertranscription is common in human cancer and predicts poor prognosis. To understand how hypertranscription might drive cancer, we applied our formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE)–cl...

Shen et al. investigate the use of Lactobacillus plantarum, a commensal bacterial strain, as a chassis for targeting the olfactory mucosa to facilitate precise nose-to-brain delivery of therapeutic mo...

Cells have evolved mechanisms to distribute ~10 billion protein molecules to subcellular compartments where diverse proteins involved in shared functions must assemble. Here, we demonstrate that proteins with shared functions share amino acid sequence ...

SUMMARYThe ability to overcome metabolic stress is a major determinant of outcomes during infections. Pathogens face nutrient and oxygen deprivation in host niches and during their encounter with immu...

The WHO fungal priority pathogens list (WHO FPPL) is the first global effort to systematically prioritize fungal pathogens, considering their unmet R&D needs and perceived public health importance.

The fungal BET protein Bdf1 is a potential antifungal target in pathogenic Candida species requiring the inhibition of both its bromodomains. Humanized Candida strains and NanoBiT complementation ass...

Researchers with lived experience of the chronic workplace stress that typifies burnout describe how they sought help and turned their working lives around.
