Infrared Spectroscopy as a Promising Tool for Diagnosing and Typing Human Pathogenic Fungi

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Fungal infections are increasingly recognised as a global health challenge, responsible for millions of cases annually and substantial mortality, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Yet, the diagnosis of these infections remains notoriously difficult, often delayed by slow culture‐based methods or hindered by the high cost and ...

A Rapid Assessment Approach for Skin Stratum‐Targeted Drug Delivery Systems Using Mass Spectrometry Imaging and Spatial Clustering

Small Science, Volume 5, Issue 8, August 2025.
This study presents a novel method for rapidly evaluating dermal drug delivery systems (DDSs). Using mass spectrometry imaging and automated data analysis, it visualizes drug distribution within skin layers in under 10 min. Tested with three nanoscale DDSs for antifungal terbinafine, the approach reveals key differences in drug permeation depth and ...

Climate Change, Natural Disasters, and Cutaneous Fungal Infections

International Journal of Dermatology, Volume 64, Issue 8, Page 1349-1355, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Fungal infections are an important source of morbidity and mortality that can manifest as superficial or invasive diseases. Diagnostic techniques for human fungal pathogens remain problematic, and multi‐drug resistance is emerging. This review addresses the potential emergence of new fungal pathogens in changing environments and reported ...
