Systemic candidiasis is a severe, opportunistic #fungal infection caused by Candida albicans. Recent research demonstrates that reprogramming the metabolic pathways of a host's immune cells offers a viable strategy to clear the infection, circumventing the need for traditional #antifungal medications.

Fungal electronics

Fungal electronics is a family of living electronic devices made of mycelium bound composites or pure mycelium. Fungal electronic devices are capable of changing their impedance and generating spikes of electrical potential in response to external control parameters. Fungal electronics can be embedded into fungal materials and wearables or used as stand alone sensing and computing devices.
