RNA interference and nanomedicine work together to combat dangerous fungal infections
Journal nanoscale digital cover illustration (2025, Vol. 17, page 7002). Credit: Andreas Beilhack, created with Procreate Fungal infections are on the rise worldwide. In 2022, about 6.5 million people were infected with the pathogenic fungus, resulting in about 3.8 million people who died twice as many times as in 2012. As resistant fungal strains increase, treatment becomes more difficult and…

The importance of RNA modification in fungal infection resistance may lead to better treatments
Written by Maria Schulz, Leibniz Institute for Natural Biology – Hans Kühnel Institute (Leibniz-HKI) Aspergillus fumigatus colonies plated in the form of transfer RNA molecules. Credit: Matthew Blango, Leibniz-HKI The failure of antifungal drugs in clinical practice may involve an often-overlooked gene regulatory mechanism, says the Leibniz Research Institute for Natural Products, the Institute for Infection Biology, and the Hans…
