Messenger RNA transport in the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans [PDF]
Current Genetics, 2017 Candida albicans, a common commensal fungus, can cause disease in immunocompromised hosts ranging from mild mucosal infections to severe bloodstream infections with high mortality rates. The ability of C. albicans cells to switch between a budding yeast form and an elongated hyphal form is linked to pathogenicity in animal models.

Effects on Friend Disease of Double-stranded RNA of Fungal Origin
Journal of General Virology, 1971 Summary This paper reports the effects of treatment with double-stranded RNA of Friend disease, a virus-induced murine leukaemia. The salient feature of the disease is a progressive increase in spleen size; death normally results from rupture of the spleen.

The evolution of novel fungal genes from non-retroviral RNA viruses [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2009 Endogenous derivatives of non-retroviral RNA viruses are thought to be absent or rare in eukaryotic genomes because integration of RNA viruses in host genomes is impossible without reverse transcription. However, such derivatives have been proposed for animals, plants and fungi, often based on surrogate bioinformatic evidence.

Electrical frequency discrimination by fungi Pleurotus ostreatus [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We stimulate mycelian networks of oyster fungi Pleurotus ostreatus with low frequency sinusoidal electrical signals. We demonstrate that the fungal networks can discriminate between frequencies in a fuzzy or threshold based manner. Details about the mixing of frequencies by the mycelium networks are provided.

RNA interference screening reveals host CaMK4 as a regulator of cryptococcal uptake and pathogenesis [PDF]
, 2017 Cryptococcus neoformans , the causative agent of cryptococcosis, is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that kills over 200,000 individuals annually. This yeast may grow freely in body fluids, but it also flourishes within host cells.

The Expanding Mycovirome of Aspergilli
Journal of FungiMycoviruses are viruses that infect fungi and are widespread across all major fungal taxa, exhibiting great biological diversity. Since their discovery in the 1960s, researchers have observed a myriad of fungal phenotypes altered due to mycoviral ...

An efficient method for DNA extraction from Cladosporioid fungi [PDF]
, 2010 We developed an efficient method for DNA extraction from Cladosporioid fungi, which are important fungal plant pathogens. The cell wall of Cladosporioid fungi is often melanized, which makes it difficult to extract DNA from their cells.

arXiv, 2020 We study a cellular automaton (CA) model of information dynamics on a single hypha of a fungal mycelium. Such a filament is divided in compartments (here also called cells) by septa. These septa are invaginations of the cell wall and their pores allow for flow of cytoplasm between compartments and hyphae.

Unraveling RNA by Mechanical Unzipping [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We review the basic concepts and tools for mechanically unzipping RNA hairpins using force spectroscopy. By pulling apart the ends of an RNA molecule using optical tweezers, it is possible to measure the folding free energy at varying experimental conditions.
