Fungal infections kill more than 1.6 million people yearly, according to Global Action for Fungal Infections, a research and fundraising organization. The toll is climbing. Fungi are adapting to rising temperatures in ways that may make them better suited to thrive in the human body, researchers said. And more people undergoing treatments that weaken their immune systems means a larger population vulnerable to severe fungal infections.

Ring Therapeutics, have revealed 60 open reading frame 1 (ORF1) protein fragments that feature a modified jelly-roll–domain core architecture, with residues that extend from the surface to

One such method is based on ImmTOR nanoparticles (Selecta Biosciences), which leverage rapamycin to generate antigen-specific immune tolerance (Figure 1). The nanoparticles are designed to accumulate in the spleen and liver

Dr. Diem Nguyen,  the CEO of Xalud Therapeutics, talks about Xalud’s work to reduce the inflammation that drives pain. It’s now in human clinical trials.

SOTIO, for example – an international biotech originating from the Czech Republic – focuses on immuno-oncology and developing innovative methods for treating cancer.
