Table 1. The structure and function of key eukaryotic cell structures. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant and fungal cells, vacuoles help ...

Mandimycin, which targets a different essential fungi cell resource than other antifungal drugs, should harm other cell types as collateral — but doesn’t.

Antifungal drugs target molecules in the fungal cell wall, a flexible but rigid outer layer that provides the cell protection. By rupturing the protective structure, the drugs kill the fungal cell ...

“One important thing is to preserve the tissue architecture, because you need to see the spatial structure,” said Coelho ... capacity allowed Coelho’s team to visualize enlarged fungal cells, called ...

In most animal, plant and fungal cells DNA is stored in the nucleus coiled up in thread-like structures called chromosomes. The nucleus of one of your skin cells contains about two metres of DNA ...

A recent study has shed light on the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of Penicillium expansum, the fungal culprit behind ...

The table below list organelles, their function and the types of cell that they can be found in. Can you fill in the blanks to complete the table? Cell structure Description Function Cell type ...

Mandimycin is structurally similar to the last-line-of-defense antifungal amphotericin B, another glycosylated polyene ...

The ORNL team focused on ergosterol, a lipid (fat), found in fungi. Ergosterol is similar to but less studied than cholesterol found in animal cells. Lipids form much of the basic structure of ...
