Malassezia is the fungus predominantly residing on human skin and causes various diseases, including seborrheic dermatitis dandruff. To date, 18 species have been reported, among them, M. restricta most predominant skin, especially scalp.
Abstract To overcome host iron restriction, the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans uses several uptake mechanisms to cause disease. In this study....
Betaine derivatives are considered major ingredients of shampoos and commonly used as antistatic viscosity-increasing agents. Several studies have also suggested that betaine can be antimicrobial However, the antifungal activity mechanism action not yet been fully understood. In this study, we investigated six against Malassezia restricta, which is most frequently isolated fungus from human skin implicated in development dandruff. We found that, among derivatives, lauryl showed potent...
Vacuoles are dynamic cellular organelles, and their morphology is altered by various stimuli or stresses. play an important role in the physiology virulence of many fungal pathogens. For example, a Cryptococcus neoformans mutant deficient vacuolar functions showed significantly reduced expression factors such as capsule melanin synthesis was avirulent mouse model cryptococcosis. In current study, we found increased fragmentation C. mutants lacking SOD1 SOD2, which respectively encode Zn,...
Developing sustainable and environmentally friendly energy harvester is of great interest for various applications, especially wearable body-attachable self-powered electronics. Here, a biocompatible, mechanically durable, wood-derived triboelectric nanogenerator (wood-TENG) fabricated applied as human kinetic-energy harvester, along with an antifungal activity against athlete's foot. The wood-TENG composed the natural product, i.e., root bark Ulmus davidiana var. japonica biocompatible...
