Aspergillus fungus thrives because its genome bends easily to new pressures. It lives on soil, grains, animal feathers, even ...

Researchers, led by Dr Robert Coutts, Leverhulme Research Fellow from the School of Life and Medical Sciences at the University of Hertfordshire, and Dr Ioly Kotta-Loizou, Research Associate at ...

Further research will focus on whether genetic variations in the Dcir gene are associated with the severity of aspergillosis in humans and on identifying the specific molecules on Aspergillus that ...

The deadly fungus behind the real-life disease aspergillosis is spreading—and scientists say global warming could make it a worldwide threat in the coming decades. Researchers at the University of ...

People are exposed to millions of fungal spores every day, even potentially harmful ones like those from Aspergillus fumigatus. For most individuals, this constant exposure is harmless, as the immune ...

Dcir recognizes Aspergillus fumigatus hyphae and dampens the degranulatory activity of neutrophils. Without Dcir, neutrophils show enhanced fungicidal activity, and the host’s ability to eliminate the ...
