Understanding bacterial growth mechanisms potentially uncover novel drug targets which are crucial for maintaining cellular viability, particularly for bacterial pathogens. In this important study, ...

Candida auris, a type of yeast that spreads mostly in hospitals and senior care centers, can cause severe illness and death. Drug-resistant fungal infections like C. auris have been increasing ...

The yeast experiment's findings—made possible through Dr. Nislow's expertise—open doors to applications ranging from resilient biological systems for long-duration space missions to novel ...

Genomic changes in the infectious yeast Candida tropicalis may play a role in its resistance to antifungals, according to a new study. These genomic changes can be brought on by a common ...

Small organisms can have a big impact, and researchers have explored nearly a dozen nontraditional yeast strains to determine which ones could brew the best nonalcoholic beers for a rapidly ...
