Biochemical and Physiological Effects of Galanin in Health and Disease

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 2, 31 January 2026.
Galanin is a biologically active neuropeptide hormone that mediates its effects through three galanin receptors. Galanin signaling induces changes in glucose homeostasis amongst others and plays a dynamic role in the physiological health of many organ systems.

Two cases of atypical periorificial dermatitis caused by Candida parapsilosis in patients volunteering in dog shelters [PDF]

, 2019
Candida is a genus of yeasts that can be a part of normal human skin flora, but may cause disease when the skin barrier is compromised. C. albicans is the most common pathogenic species of this genus, but in recent years infection with other species ...

Mosquitoes can harbour yeasts of clinical significance and contribute to their environmental dissemination

, 2017
There is still a lack of studies on fungal microbiota in mosquitoes, compared with the number available on bacterial microbiota. This study reports the identification of yeasts of clinical significance in laboratory mosquito species: Anopheles gambiae ...

Molecular Insights into Fungal Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Transamidase Complex

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, 9 January 2026.
The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) biosynthesis pathway is critical for antifungal drug development. This study reports three cryo‐electron microscopy structures of fungal GPI transamidase (GPIT), captured in two substrate‐bound states and a novel dimeric assembly.

Green synthesis of highly functionalized octahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole derivatives using subcritical water, and their anti(myco)bacterial and antifungal activity [PDF]

, 2018
A series of novel 2-(thiazol-2-yl)-octahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrroles was synthesized by reaction of octahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole N-benzoylthiourea derivatives and α-haloketones in subcritical water at 130 °C in 75-91% yield.

C. albicans, C. parapsilosis and C. tropicalis invasive infections in the PICU: clinical features, prognosis and mortality.

Revista espanola de quimioterapia : publicacion oficial de la Sociedad Espanola de Quimioterapia, 2014
Candida albicans remains the most common agent associated with invasive Candida infection (ICI), but with increasing number of non-albicans species. An epidemiological, observational study exploring host criteria, clinical characteristics and mortality of ICI was performed in 24 pediatric intensive care units (PICU) in Spain.
