Microscope images show Candida albicans?in two distinct forms: as single-celled yeast (left), and in an elongated, thread-like form called a true hypha (right). Research suggests that a protein called ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — You might call Candida albicans a shape-shifter: As this fungus grows, it can multiply as single, oval-shaped cells called yeast or propagate in an elongated form called hypha, ...

Scientists have used single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of the ribosome of Candida albicans. Their results reveal a potential target for new drugs. Most people ...

Candida albicans is a yeast that may be present in the digestive system and other body parts. Small amounts of Candida albicans are often harmless, but overgrowth may trigger an infection known as ...

The yeast fungus Candida albicans not only uses the toxin candidalysin to cause infections, but also to colonize the oral mucosa inconspicuously—but only in finely balanced amounts. Too little toxin ...

Candida albicans causes potentially lethal infections in immunocompromised individuals. Now, using a modified CRISPR-Cas system, researchers can edit the fungus's genome systematically--an approach ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- You might call Candida albicans a shape-shifter: As this fungus grows, it can multiply as single, oval-shaped cells called yeast or propagate in an elongated form called hypha, ...
