Antifungal Activity and Possible Mechanism of Action of the Zn (II) Complex With a Schiff Base Against Fluconazole‐Resistant Strains of Candida spp. and Cryptococcus neoformans

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2026.
Addressing the global challenge of antifungal resistance, this work presents a vanillin‐derived Schiff base complexed with zinc (II) (SBZ) with potent activity against fluconazole‐resistant Candida spp. and Cryptococcus neoformans. By activating an apoptotic pathway, ranging from mitochondrial depolarization and oxidative stress to fungal DNA ...

Manganese‐Doped Mesoporous Bioactive Glasses

International Journal of Ceramic Engineering &Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, July 2026.
Mn‐containing, P2O5‐free 85S mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) with the composition (85SiO2–(15 − x)CaO–xMnO mol%, x = 1, 2, 3, and 4) were synthesized and characterized. The glasses retained mesoporosity, enabling rapid hydroxycarbonate apatite formation and supporting cytocompatibility.

Phylogeny and evolution of the aspartyl protease family from clinically relevant Candida species

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2009
Aspartyl proteases are a class of enzymes that include the yeast aspartyl proteases and secreted aspartyl protease (Sap) superfamilies. Several Sap superfamily members have been demonstrated or suggested as virulence factors in opportunistic pathogens of

Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Properties of Piper spp. Volatile Oils That Inhibit Pathogenic Microorganisms

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 935-942, July 2026.
The samples were fungicidal against Candida, with MICs ranging from 62.5 to 250 μg/mL, and fungistatic against Penicillium adametzii, Aspergillus flavus and A. niger, with MICs of 1000 μg/mL. The volatile oils of Piper aduncum and Piper marginatum reduced the viability of MDA‐MB231 cells.

Folate‐Containing Fermented Foods of Plant and Animal Origin: The Value of Traditional Foods to Tackle Folate Deficiency

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Traditional fermented foods consumed around the world are natural sources of folate. Certain microbes, particularly Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, enhance folate production during the fermentation process, making fermented foods a promising dietary approach to improve folate status and help prevent folate deficiency.

Torque Teno Virus Dynamics in Plasma and BAL of COVID‐19 ARDS Patients With and Without ECMO

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used to manage severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and is associated with immune modulation. Torque teno virus (TTV) has been proposed as a surrogate marker of immune competence, but it remains unclear whether ECMO influences TTV levels.
