Invasive mold infections represent an emerging and important diagnostic challenge, especially in immunocompetent patients when microscopy and cultures of the biological fluids remain negative. A central nervous system localization is not common and the clinical presentation is aspecific.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a malignant brain tumor with diffuse infiltration. Here, we demonstrate how GBM cells usurp guidance receptor Plexin-B2 for confined migration through restricted space. Using live-cell imaging to track GBM cells negotiating microchannels, we reveal endocytic vesicle accumulation at cell front and filamentous actin assembly at cell rear in a polarized manner.

Mycetoma is a granulomatous disease of subcutaneous tissue that is caused by different species of aerobic filamentous bacteria (actinomycetoma) or fungi (eumycetoma). Mycetoma treatment depends on the causative pathogen, and it mainly consists of antimicrobial interventions or surgery. Aspergillus terreus is an etiologic agent of invasive aspergillosis and a rare cause of eumycetoma that is common in central and southern China.

The ability of fungi and bacteria to form biofilms on surfaces poses a serious threat to health and a problem in industrial settings. In this work, we investigated how the surface stiffness of silk fibroin (SF) films is modulated by the interaction with black phosphorus (BP) flakes, quantifying the morphogenesis of cells. Raman and infrared (IR) spectroscopies, along with scanning transmission electron microscopy, allowed us to quantify the thickness and diameter of BP flakes dispersed in the SF matrix (, 5.

Unlabelled: The SPFH (stomatin, prohibitin, flotillin, and HflK/HflC) protein superfamily is conserved across all domains of life. Fungal SPFH proteins are required for respiration, stress adaptation, and membrane scaffolding. In the yeast , stomatin-like protein 3 (Slp3) forms punctate foci at the plasma membrane, and overexpression causes cell death following exposure to the surfactant, SDS, and the oxidative stressor, HO.
