Some researchers are sounding the alarm about a potentially deadly fungus that could spread throughout parts of the U.S., Europe and Asia. The study article, which was published in pre-print (not yet ...

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 ...

Climate change may be putting millions more people at risk from an infection-causing fungi, which is likely spreading due to warming global temperatures, scientists say. There will likely be an ...

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 ...
