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 ...

"The spectroscopy method provided atomic resolution on the structure of polysaccharides and associated proteins using intact fungal cell walls free from any treatment that might perturb the native ...

In 1966, a plasmodesmata-like structure was found in newly formed fungal cell walls. The resemblance to plant plasmodesmata was due to intracellular strands running through the pores from one ...
