Inhalability and Bioactivity of Spray‐Dried versus Pressurized Gas eXpanded Liquid Technology‐Processed Yeast Beta‐Glucan Microparticles for Anti‐Fibrotic Therapies

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
PGXTEC) liquid technology is utilized to develop highly respirable yeast beta‐glucan (YBG) microparticles for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis. Compared to conventionally processed spray‐dried YBG, PGXTEC‐YBG exhibits greatly improved aerodynamic properties, enhanced pro‐fibrotic macrophage uptake, and effective downregulation of pro‐fibrotic ...

Responses to hypoxia in fungal pathogens

Cellular Microbiology, 2009
Hypoxia is typical for most battlefields of host-pathogen interactions in the human host. While adaptation of human cells to low levels of oxygen has been well established, little information exists on mechanisms of hypoxic adaptation in microbial pathogens. Importantly, the impact of hypoxia on microbial infection, virulence and pathogenesis is rarely

Rodentborne fungal pathogens in wetland agroecosystem [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2012
The past few decades have witnessed an overwhelming increase in the incidence of fungal infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Consequently, zoonotic diseases, especially through rodents constitute a prominent group among the emerging diseases. Rodents are commensal to man and related health risks are common.

Metal–Organic Framework‐Based Antimicrobial Touch Surfaces to Prevent Cross‐Contamination

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A MOF‐based antimicrobial door handle cover is developed. It completely inhibits the cross‐contamination of Gram‐positive bacterial species (Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis), Gram‐negative bacterial species (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii), and fungi (Candida albicans). Abstract Infection diseases

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Molecular mechanisms underlying tree host-pathogen interactions under drought stress and subsequent rewatering in Eucalyptus grandis

Plant Stress
Abiotic stresses such as drought change plant-pathogen interactions by affecting both hosts and pathogens. Here, we aimed to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying forest tree-pathogen interactions under drought stress and subsequent rewatering.

Changes in Endophyte Communities across the Different Plant Compartments in Response to the Rice Blast Infection [PDF]

The Plant Pathology Journal
The rice blast disease, caused by the fungal pathogen, Magnaporthe oryzae (syn. Pyricularia oryzae), poses a significant threat to the global rice production. Understanding how this disease impacts the plant’s microbial communities is crucial for gaining

Pathogenic Roles for Fungal Melanins [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2000
SUMMARYMelanins represent virulence factors for several pathogenic fungi; the number of examples is growing. Thus, albino mutants of several genera (in one case, mutated precisely in the melanizing enzyme) exhibit decreased virulence in mice. We consider the phenomenon in relation to known chemical properties of melanin, beginning with biosynthesis ...

Genome-wide functional annotation of Phomopsis longicolla isolate MSPL 10-6

Genomics Data, 2016
Phomopsis seed decay of soybean is caused primarily by the seed-borne fungal pathogen Phomopsis longicolla (syn. Diaporthe longicolla). This disease severely decreases soybean seed quality, reduces seedling vigor and stand establishment, and suppresses ...
