SIP-SRS Imaging of Cell Wall Synthesis Identifies a Synergy between Micafungin and Amphotericin B. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)We employed glucose‐d7–based stable isotope probe‐assisted SRS microscopy (SIP‐SRS) C–D imaging to visualize fungal cell wall synthesis and remodeling under antifungal treatment. Amphotericin B (AmB) induced notable daughter cell wall thickening, prompting a combinational therapy with AmB and micafungin.
