Antifungal and antitumor models of bioactive protective peptides [PDF]

, 2009
Peptides are remarkably reactive molecules produced by a great variety of species and able to display a number of functions in uni-and multicellular organisms as mediators, agonists and regulating substances. Some of them exert cytotoxic effects on cells

Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 499-515, March 2026.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

Comparative proteomics in the genus Paracoccidioides

Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2013
The genus Paracoccidioides comprises a complex of phylogenetic species of dimorphic pathogenic fungi, the etiologic agents of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a disease confined to Latin America and of marked relevance in its endemic areas due to its high frequency and severity.

Melatonin Is Bound to a Glycolytic Protein Complex via Tdh2p During Fermentation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Journal of Pineal Research, Volume 78, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Melatonin (MEL) is a multifunctional bioactive compound known for its antioxidant properties and regulatory roles in both animal and microbial systems. Although MEL has been shown to interact with glycolytic enzymes in yeast, the molecular basis and physiological relevance of these interactions remain unclear.

Evaluation of Caenorhabditis elegans as a host model for Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Paracoccidioides lutzii [PDF]

Pathogens and Disease, 2018
Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic fungal infection affecting mainly Latin American countries that is caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Paracoccidioides lutzii. During the study of fungal pathogenesis, in vivo studies are crucial to understand the overall mechanisms involving the infection as well as to search for new therapeutic treatments

Antifungal Potential of Essential Oil Chemotypes of Eugenia uniflora Against Phytopathogens

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study investigates the chemical profile and antifungal activity of Eugenia uniflora essential oils. The major constituents identified were selina‐1,3,7(11)‐trien‐8‐one and curzerene. The oils showed significant inhibitory effects against the phytopathogens Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Pestalotia sp. These results emphasize the potential of E.

Innate immunity to Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection [PDF]

Mycopathologia, 2008
Innate immunity is based in pre-existing elements of the immune system that directly interact with all types of microbes leading to their destruction or growth inhibition. Several elements of this early defense mechanism act in concert to control initial pathogen growth and have profound effect on the adaptative immune response that further develops ...
