A team of researchers led by Amy G. Hise, M.D., M.P.H., assistant professor at the Center for Global Health and Diseases, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, is the first to discover how the body fights off oral yeast infections caused by the most common human fungal pathogen, Candida. http://www.physorg.com/news163939183.html Medicine & Health Thu, 11 Jun 2009 11:40:20 EST news163939183 Even the most drug-resistant fungi can be eradicated in multiple in vitro and in vivo models using a lethal combination of an antifungal agent and inhibition of the heat shock protein Hsp90, according to a new study by Whitehead Institute and University of Toronto researchers. The findings could enable development of novel antifungal therapies for patients with compromised immune systems. http://www.physorg.com/news153421665.html Medicine & Health Mon, 09 Feb 2009 17:08:25 EST news153421665 Researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have discovered how a deadly microbe evades the human immune system and causes disease. http://www.physorg.com/news152905272.html Biology Tue, 03 Feb 2009 17:41:47 EST news152905272 The effectiveness of voriconazole in combating fungal infections has been confirmed by a new study to be featured in the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, published by Elsevier. Fungal infections can kill people with weakened immune systems, which can be caused by AIDS, cancer treatment or organ replacement, and the research reinforces earlier findings that this drug is a potent treatment for a wide range of these infections. http://www.physorg.com/news148641744.html Biology Tue, 16 Dec 2008 09:22:24 EST news148641744
