🔬 #imageoftheweek Researchers at MRC CMM are exploring how Trichuris muris (a gut worm infecting 800M+ people) interacts with Candida albicans, a yeast found in most humans. Could they help or hinder each other?

🧫 Today's #ImageOfTheWeek is a dual species biofilm featuring Candida glabrata (pink) & Staphylococcus aureus (gold). These dense biofilms are resistant to antifungal drugs, making treatment extremely challenging.

Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. @djenetbousbaine.bsky.social led the charge... @natureportfolio.bsky.social 1/55

Hey, #mycosky #immunosky #microsky 👋🏻
Earlier in the year, we published a paper where we found that HPLM (human plasma-like media) induces Cryptococcus neoformans growth that closely represents those morphologies found in vivo 🧫🦠

#mycology, even at the weekends. Mushrooms on the moors, and mushrooms in our composter at the allotment. Back to the microscopic fungi tomorrow!
