Greetings!🍄
I am developing Fungal #YouTube Channel.
The idea is to make #mycology more attractive and accessible to people.
You can watch videos about #biology of #fungi and their #viruses here ⬇️
Don't forget to subscribe to my channel and Like videos! It is the best motivation creating new content!

Der krankheitserregende Pilz #Aspergillus fumigatus gelangt über die Atemluft in die Lungen. Dort kidnappt er Zellen, um der körpereigenen Abwehr zu entkommen. Forscher haben die Strategie nun jedoch durchschaut. http://docc.hk/mu3vb5

#Infektionen mit dem #Pilz #Aspergillus fumigatus sind schwer zu bekämpfen – insbesondere, weil der Pilz sich vor #Antimykotika und der Immunabwehr schützen kann. Das Krebsmedikament #Imatinib verhindert die Abschottung.

A trainee in our program recently published a paper about #Aspergillus #flavus and its close relatives. The group found that environmental differences can drive differences in virulence across species.

"Here, Sarden et al. aimed to characterize the mechanism by which resistance to Af fails in some individuals. The authors found that an axis consisting of innate B1a cells, natural IgG antibodies, and neutrophils is essential for maintaining protection against Af infection in preclinical models. This axis can be disrupted by factors ranging from influenza A and SARS-CoV-2 infection to corticosteroid treatment. Importantly, the authors showed that re-establishing this axis, including by administration of Af¬-reactive antibodies, can protect mice, highlighting a potential treatment"

Had a successful day of conferencing at the Australasian #Mycological Society Symposium in Wellington New Zealand yesterday at #AMS2022.
A great line up of talks on #fungal #diversity, #molecular & #genomic studies, #appliedscience, #biocontrol, #plantpathology, #ecology, and #Aspergillus in #kākāpō.
