Mycobiome Sequencing and Analysis Applied to Fungal Community Profiling of the Lower Respiratory Tract During Fungal Pathogenesis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Invasive fungal infections are an increasingly important cause of human morbidity and mortality. We generated a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based method designed to detect a wide range of fungi and applied it to analysis of the fungal microbiome ...

Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.

A case of autoimmune hepatitis in a patient with inflammatory bowel disease and significant lymphadenopathy in the porta hepatis

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract The diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is supported by the presence of elevated transaminases, hypergammaglobulinemia, liver biopsy consistent with AIH, and the presence of AIH autoantibodies. In this case presentation, we highlight the challenges associated with diagnosing AIH in a patient with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who ...

Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

Crosstalk Between Intratumoral Microbes and Tumor Immunity: Implications for Tumor Therapy

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Emerging studies indicate that microbes are present in tumor cells and immune cells. Intratumoral microbiota (ITM) constitute an important component of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and have an important impact on tumor progression and treatment. Objective Through the general elaboration of ITM represented by bacteria and

Exploring the environmental drivers of human blastomycosis cases in the Midwestern United States

Environmental Research: Health
Blastomycosis is a fungal infection endemic to the eastern United States (US) and Canada caused by the inhalation of the fungi Blastomyces spp. Currently, the environmental drivers of disease dynamics are poorly understood.
