Studying mice and two clinical cohorts, researchers in #ScienceTranslationalMedicine show that the protein meteorin-like worsens outcomes during invasive candidiasis by suppressing antifungal macrophages, suggesting the protein could offer a marker and potential target. https://scim.ag/3LRxWzX
Meteorin-like is associated with poor outcome in invasive candidiasis in mouse models and in humans
METRNL is elevated in candidemia in mice and humans and provides a potential therapeutic target for life-threatening candidemia.

Claves que debemos conocer sobre el peligroso virus Nipah
La detección de dos casos de infección por este peligroso virus en la India han hecho saltar las alarmas, aunque el riesgo de que el brote se expanda fuera del área afectada es bajo.

We're happy to announce that our new paper on Cth2 is out!
We show that the Cth2 G195R mutation found in some wild S. cerevisiae strains is important for their tolerance to high iron conditions, while it diminishes their capacity to grow under iron deficiency.
