Researchers devised a way to deliver drugs across the brain’s protective barrier using nanoparticles mimicking a fungal ...

After entering the host, the leading cause of fungal meningitis, Cryptococcus neoformans, rapidly adapts by shrinking in size and acquiring other characteristics that allow it to better infect the ...

A fungus that can change its shape to fit into your brain has been discovered by scientists. Cryptococcus neoformans (C. neoformans), a pathogenic fungus, can shape-shift itself to fit through the ...

Ultimately, the goal is to find ways to stop deadly disease caused by Cryptococcus neoformans from developing in humans and animals. But until that time, finding new and better ways to treat already ...

In a recent study published in Nature Microbiology, researchers examined metabolite-drug-fungal interactions in the fungal meningitis pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. Antibiotic resistance refers to ...

The infectious fungus Cryptococcus neoformans rapidly enlarges and shrinks in size to withstand different microenvironments in the body. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...

Two cannabis-derived compounds have shown remarkable effectiveness against fungal pathogens in laboratory tests, according to new Macquarie University research. In a study published in The Journal of ...

A fungus that is a common cause of fungal meningitis undergoes a remarkable transformation once it enters the body, allowing it to infect the brain, according to new research. The discovery could lead ...
