☠️🍄The world's deadliest mushroom has been hiding a secondary metabolite secret! The Keller, Drott & Pringle Labs just published in @pnas.org: leaderless RiPPs, a peptide class never before seen in fungi, found in Amanita phalloides and linked to its Californian invasion. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

A network-based model of Aspergillus fumigatus elucidates regulators of development and defensive natural products of an opportunistic pathogen Abstract. Aspergillus fumigatus is a notorious pathogenic fungus responsible for various harmful, sometimes lethal, diseases known as aspergilloses. Unders

We are excited to announce the publication of GRAsp, a gene regulatory network prediction tool for A. fumigatus in collaboration with @sroyyors.bsky.social and @jeanmichelane.bsky.social in Nucleic Acid Reports!

This tool can be found on our lab website or at grasp.wid.wisc.edu.

Larval zebrafish burn wound infection model reveals conserved innate immune responses against diverse pathogenic fungi | mBio Secondary fungal infections within burn wound injuries are a significant problem that delays wound healing and increases the risk of patient mortality. Currently, little is known about how fungi colon...

New publication with the Huttenlocher Lab! Led by PhD candidate Nayanna Mercado Soto, we used zebrafish to study burn wound infections with Candida albicans & Aspergillus fumigatus, showing the innate immune response is highly conserved across fungal species. #fungi journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
