Scientists Discover How Pathogenic Fungi Evade the Immune System, Opening New Paths to Fight Drug-Resistant Infections

mold news - How fungi "blind" the immune system

Scientists discovered how pathogenic fungi conceal themselves from the immune system by masking β-glucan within their cell walls. The findings improve understanding of fungal immune evasion and may support future therapies that enhance immune recognition while addressing the growing global challenge of antifungal resistance.

The Hidden Burden of Invasive Fungal Infections in Cancer Care Gains Greater Attention

Experts highlight the growing burden of invasive fungal infections among patients receiving cancer treatment. Immune suppression caused by chemotherapy and transplantation increases vulnerability to Aspergillus, Candida, and Mucorales, making early diagnosis, preventive antifungal therapy, and improved clinical awareness essential for reducing mortality and treatment-related complications.

Candida auris Cases Continue to Rise in the United States, Raising Concerns Over Drug Resistance and Healthcare Transmission

CDC surveillance shows Candida auris cases continue rising in the United States. The multidrug-resistant yeast spreads primarily in healthcare settings, survives on surfaces for weeks, and increasingly challenges infection control. Experts emphasize screening, isolation, environmental disinfection, and surveillance to reduce transmission among vulnerable hospitalized patients.

Stopping Fungi at the Molecular Level: How Caspofungin Blocks Cell-Wall Construction

Caspofungin stops fungal infections by trapping a glucan chain mid-construction inside the Fks1 enzyme — blocking cell-wall assembly at the exact moment it occurs. New structural research reveals how this works, and why certain mutations allow fungi to escape it.

A new, super-terrifying fungus has been discovered.
