Anti-jamming in a fungal transport network [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Congestion limits the efficiency of transport networks ranging from highways to the internet. Fungal hyphal networks are studied as an examples of optimal biological transport networks, but the scheduling and direction of traffic to avoid congestion has not been examined.

Controlling sap-sucking insect pests with recombinant endophytes expressing plant lectin [PDF]
, 2010 We developed a novel pest management strategy, which uses endophytes to express anti-pest plant lectins. Fungal endophyte of Chaetomium globosum YY-11 with anti-fungi activities was isolated from rape seedlings, and bacterial endophytes of SJ-10 ...

Exploring Fungal Morphology Simulation and Dynamic Light Containment from a Graphics Generation Perspective [PDF]
arXivFungal simulation and control are considered crucial techniques in Bio-Art creation. However, coding algorithms for reliable fungal simulations have posed significant challenges for artists. This study equates fungal morphology simulation to a two-dimensional graphic time-series generation problem.

An account of fungal 14-3-3 proteins
European Journal of Cell Biology, 2017 14-3-3s are a group of relatively low molecular weight, acidic, dimeric, protein(s) conserved from single-celled yeast to multicellular vertebrates including humans. Despite lacking catalytic activity, these proteins have been shown to be involved in multiple cellular processes.

ZIF-90 treats fungal keratitis by promoting macrophage apoptosis and inhibiting inflammatory response [PDF]
arXivFungal keratitis is a severe vision-threatening corneal infection with a prognosis influenced by fungal virulence and the host's immune defense mechanisms. The immune system, through its regulation of the inflammatory response, ensures cells and tissues can effectively activate defense mechanisms in response to infection and injury.
