Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 68, Issue 11, June 2024.There is limited research conducted on the relationship between vitamin D and gut mycobiota. This study reveals that individuals with sufficient serum vitamin D exhibit a decreased abundance of fecal Saccharomyces. The results obtain from the vitamin D genetic risk score analysessupport this relationship.

Candida albicans Morphology-Dependent Host FGF-2 Response as a Potential Therapeutic Target
Journal of Fungi, 2019 Angiogenesis mediated by proteins such as Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (FGF-2) is a vital component of normal physiological processes and has also been implicated in contributing to the disease state associated with various microbial infections.

Physiological Reports, Volume 12, Issue 12, June 2024.Abstract Although the liver is the largest metabolic organ in the body, it is not alone in functionality and is assisted by “an organ inside an organ,” the gut microbiota. This review attempts to shed light on the partnership between the liver and the gut microbiota in the metabolism of macronutrients (i.e., proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids).

Fangchinoline inhibits growth and biofilm of Candida albicans by inducing ROS overproduction
Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 28, Issue 9, May 2024.Abstract Infections caused by Candida species, especially Candida albicans, threaten the public health and create economic burden. Shortage of antifungals and emergence of drug resistance call for new antifungal therapies while natural products were attractive sources for developing new drugs.

“Nutrient–fungi–host” tripartite interaction in cancer progression
iMeta, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2024.Interactions between nutrient and fungi in cancer development and treatment remain under investigation. In this article, we aim to provide insights into the relationships between fungi and various categories of cancer, mediated by diverse nutrient sensing pathways of fungi in response to external environment.

Diverse mechanisms control amino acid‐dependent environmental alkalization by Candida albicans
Molecular Microbiology, Volume 121, Issue 4, Page 696-716, April 2024.Glutamate dehydrogenase (Gdh2), a central enzyme of nitrogen metabolism, is dispensable for the virulent growth of Candida spp., including C. albicans, C. glabrata, and C. auris. Gdh2 deaminates mitochondria‐derived glutamate generating ammonia, alkalinizing the extracellular environment.
