Fungal cell walls are medically important since they represent a drug target site for
antifungal medication. So far there is no method to directly visualize structurally similar cell …

The plant cell wall is a complex network of polysaccharides. A better understanding of the
plant cell wall polysaccharide content, distribution, and interactions among them could be …

Hyphae of filamentous fungi consist of compartments that are distinct both spatially and
functionally, thereby forming a unique multicellular system. Much work has been done …

High spatial resolution methods to assess the physiology of growing cells should permit
analysis of fungal biochemical composition. Whole colony methods cannot capture the …

The high mortality of invasive fungal infections, and the limited number and inefficacy of
antifungals necessitate the development of new agents with novel mechanisms and targets …

While establishing an invasive infection, the dormant conidia of Aspergillus fumigatus transit
through swollen and germinating stages, to form hyphae. During this morphotype transition …

Filamentous fungi grow exclusively at their tips, where many growth-related fungal
processes, such as enzyme secretion and invasion into host cells, take place. Hyphal tips …

Efficient, fast and new micro-analytical methods for characterization of ultrastructures of
fungal spores with electron microscopy are very much required and essential. SEM analysis …

Fungal infections cause high mortality in immunocompromised individuals, which has
emerged as a significant threat to human health. The efforts devoted to the development of …

Candida albicans is the single most prevalent cause of fungal bloodstream infections
worldwide causing significant mortality as high as 50 percent. This high mortality rate is, in …
