Epidemiology and molecular mechanisms of antifungal resistance in Candida and Aspergillus
Mycoses (Berlin), 2016 The significant increase in the use of antifungal agents, both for the treatment of candidiasis and invasive aspergillosis and as azole fungicides in agricultural crop protection has resulted in the emergence of resistant clinical isolates, particularly ...

How habitable are M-dwarf Exoplanets? Modeling surface conditions and exploring the role of melanins in the survival of Aspergillus niger spores under exoplanet-like radiation [PDF]
arXivExoplanet habitability remains a challenging field due to the large distances separating Earth from other stars. Using insights from biology and astrophysics, we studied the habitability of M-dwarf exoplanets by modeling their surface temperature and flare UV and X-ray doses using the Martian atmosphere as a shielding model.

ZIF-90 treats fungal keratitis by promoting macrophage apoptosis and inhibiting inflammatory response [PDF]
arXivFungal keratitis is a severe vision-threatening corneal infection with a prognosis influenced by fungal virulence and the host's immune defense mechanisms. The immune system, through its regulation of the inflammatory response, ensures cells and tissues can effectively activate defense mechanisms in response to infection and injury.
