Fungi and human health

背景描述

Most recently we gain fascinating insights into how intricately entwined our health is with that of the mycobiome (fungal microbiome) and their metabolites, which can, directly and indirectly, impact our health and the etiology of human disease. Thus, exploring the microenvironment and the mechanisms by which mycobiome and host cells interact should shed lights on the study of how mycobiome responds to host immune defense and successfully colonizes the human body, and benefit the development of novel therapeutic targets and strategies to fight against fungal diseases.

This research topic aims to 

• Identify novel fungal species and/or fungal-derived bio-products that play essential roles in human diseases.

• Promote the development of new technologies in studying mycobiome. 

• Uncover molecular mechanisms of host-fungal interaction.

• Make preclinical or clinical analyses identifying intrinsic and/or intrinsic factors that contribute to human health/disease through the regulation of mycobiome.

主题

We welcome the potential topics including but not limited to the following:

• Mechanism of host-fungal interactions following the progression of human diseases, including cancer, diabetes, reproductive diseases，etc.

• Novel insights into fungal infection, including epigenetics, host microenvironment, virulence evolution and one-health.

• Antifungal resistance and development.

• External factors associated with fungal infection.

• Novel technologies in the investigation of mycobiome.
