Antifungal Drug Development: Targeting the Fungal Sphingolipid Pathway

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2020
Fungal infections are becoming more prevalent and problematic due to the continual rise of immune deficient patients as well as the progressive development of drug resistance towards currently available antifungal drugs.

Antimicrobial drug use and the risk of glioma: A case–control study

open access: yesCancer Medicine, 2023
Background The use of antibiotics has been associated with increased risks of various cancers. Comprehensive information on the association of antibiotic use with the risk of glioma is lacking. Methods We performed a large case–control study based on the

Interaction of Common Azole Antifungals with P Glycoprotein

open access: yes, 2002
Both eucaryotic and procaryotic cells are resistant to a large number of antibiotics because of the activities of export transporters. The most studied transporter in the mammalian ATP-binding cassette transporter superfamily, P glycoprotein (P-gp ...

The role of miR‐335‐5p in the redifferentiation of BRAF p.V600E thyroid cancers

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The BRAF p.V600E mutation promotes thyroid cancer dedifferentiation and radioiodine resistance. Using a network approach, we identified miR‐335‐5p as a key regulator of BRAF‐mutated thyroid tumors. Restoring miR‐335‐5p increased thyroid‐specific gene expression and iodine uptake in cells and organoids.

Anti-Infective Antibody-Derived Peptides Active against Endogenous and Exogenous Fungi

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
Mycoses still represent relevant opportunistic infections worldwide, although overshadowed in recent years by other severe and more widespread infections. Moreover, deep-seated mycoses are often accompanied by unacceptably high mortality rates. Etiologic

Antifungal hydrogels [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007
Fungi are increasingly identified as major pathogens in bloodstream infections, often involving indwelling devices. Materials with antifungal properties may provide an important deterrent to these infections. Here we describe amphogel, a dextran-based hydrogel into which amphotericin B is adsorbed.

Stimulator of interferon genes agonist augmented antitumor immunity of osimertinib in Egfr‐mutated lung cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining osimertinib with the STING agonist ADU‐S100 activates innate and adaptive immunity to overcome the non‐inflamed microenvironment of Egfr‐mutant lung cancer. This combination increases NK and CD8+ T‐cell infiltration, associated with activation of the STING‐IRF3 pathway and local immunogenic cell death.

Surveillance of Candida spp bloodstream infections: Epidemiological trends and risk factors of death in two Mexican tertiary care hospitals.

open access: yes, 2014
Introduction: Larger populations at risk, broader use of antibiotics and longer hospital stays have impacted on the incidence of Candida sp. bloodstream infections (CBSI).

Evolution‐guided yeast complementation reveals functional differences in human PSPH variants

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Ancient genomes can help guide which human genetic variants are tested experimentally. This study applies that idea to PSPH, a gene involved in serine biosynthesis, and uses high‐throughput yeast complementation to compare variant function. The findings reveal measurable differences among selected alleles and illustrate the value of evolution‐guided ...

Antifungal Activity of 5-Fluorouridine Against Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis Based on Virulence Reduction

open access: yesMolecules
This study aims to explore the potential repurposing of 5-fluorouridine (5-FUrd) as an antifungal agent against Candida species. We evaluated the responses of nine reference species of Candida spp. and one hundred clinical isolates of C.
