How does the fungal pathogen #Cryptococcus neoformans adapt to the high #CarbonDioxide levels found in the human body? This study shows that CO₂ tolerance depends on coordinated metabolic, oxidative & membrane remodeling, partly via TOR–Ypk1 signaling @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3RmnKSc

Alternative transcription start site (altTSS) usage in non-yeast #fungi: @vidang411 @guilhemjanbon &co reveal widespread altTSS in #Cryptococcus, altering gene expression & protein targeting, regulated by Tur1 in response to environmental cues #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3A9RyJ6

A 6 months internship (M2) is open in our laboratory for January 2025 to work on #RNA, the genetics and biochemistry of its #splicing, export from the nucleus and degradation in the cytoplasm. With new tools and exciting preliminary results in #Cryptococcus neoformans, an intron-rich and fascinating human #fungal pathogen.

Pretty exciting to see oral amphotericin behaving comparably to IV amphotericin for #HIV associated #Cryptococcus #meningitis
Phase 2 open label #RCT, so not quite there yet, but big potential win in simplicity and access to treatment for

Honey from #Australian Honeypot #Ants Has Unique Antimicrobial Properties
https://www.sci.news/biology/australian-honeypot-ant-honey-12129.htmlUnique #antimicrobial activity in honey from the Australian honeypot ant (Camponotus inflatus) https://peerj.com/articles/15645/
"#Honey produced by the Australian honeypot ant is valued nutritionally and medicinally by #Indigenous peoples. In a new study, #scientists found the honey to have strong activity against #Staphylococcus aureus and against two species of #fungi: #Cryptococcus and #Aspergillus."
