Scientists have discovered that beneficial root-dwelling fungi boost plant resilience to disease by remodeling the plant cell ...

The way the world grows protein is straining the planet. Raising animals for food covers close to 40 percent of all farmland, and it releases nearly 14.

The genetically engineered food is also protein packed and sustainable, say scientists. Chinese researchers used gene-editing ...

With biochemical analysis, state-of-the-art imaging technology and computer simulations, research led by scientists at Michigan State University has shown how fungi remodel their cell walls to thwart ...

Scientists grew a microscopic fungus into a more efficient — and meat-like — edible protein by tweaking just two genes with ...

Two new research studies are addressing the rising threat of fungal infections, which can be very difficult to treat. One study has examined the cell walls of fungi to look for weaknesses, while ...

Fungi are everywhere, and in many cases, a fungal infection can be eliminated by a person's immune system. But fungal infections can also send long hyphae into the body that are extremely difficult to ...

An organism as a tenant in another - in biology, this often works quite well. ETH researchers have now shed light on how such a partnership of a cell in a cell can establish. Endosymbiosis is a ...

Chinese scientists have genetically tweaked a fungus to make protein-rich “meat”, which they say can be a low-cost, ...

Scientists found that a fungus called Escovopsis living in ant nests has a long and surprising history. New research shows a ...
