Fungi Are Adapting to a Hotter World

As global temperatures rise, fungi are adapting fast. Their expanding thermal tolerance could weaken the human body’s natural defense barrier.

Mycoprotein Makeover: How Gene-Edited Fungi Could Feed the Future

CRISPR-edited Fusarium thins its cell wall, boosting mycoprotein yield and digestibility while cutting energy use and emissions—no foreign DNA.

Fungal networks beneath the soil quietly regulate carbon storage, pollution breakdown, and climate stability worldwide.

Hidden fungal networks in forest soils quietly regulate nitrogen cycling and nitrous oxide emissions, shaping climate resilience.

Fungal pathogens are rising worldwide, driving hospital outbreaks, drug resistance, and climate-linked infections once thought rare.

A familiar industrial fungus is reengineered to produce human collagen, opening a new path for safer, animal-free biomedical materials.

Biomarkers and machine learning reveal how mycotoxins move through the human body, turning hidden exposure into measurable evidence.

RNA interference resurfaces in Candida albicans, overturning decades of assumptions about fungal gene control and pathogenic behavior.

Bacteria, not fungi, drive early soil recovery, accelerating nutrient cycling and plant growth in degraded ecosystems.

Fungi transform agave waste and wastewater into protein-rich biomass, turning food industry leftovers into sustainable resources.
