This study shows that suppressing asexual development in Aspergillus nidulans improves the mechanical strength of mycelial materials, with some mutants also showing increased elasticity due to autolysis.

This paper develops a live-cell imaging system to study actin dynamics in Aspergillus nidulans, revealing distinct growth phases and actin redistribution during septum formation.

This study uses DIA-PASEF proteomics to identify iron stress responses and siderophore biosynthesis in A. nidulans, revealing MpkA-dependent changes in protein expression and phosphorylation.

This study shows that inhibiting asexual development in Aspergillus nidulans with DFMO increases mycelial material tensile strength, with the highest effect at 5 mM DFMO.

This study shows that deleting the MpkA kinase in Aspergillus nidulans alters mycelial material mechanical properties, including increased tensile strength and resistance to fragmentation.

This study identifies crosstalk between the CWI and SIN pathways in fungi, showing that it enables hyperseptation under echinocandin stress, which contributes to resistance.

This paper develops a programmable probiotic encapsulation system using synthetic biology to enhance therapeutic delivery in mice by controlling bacterial immunogenicity and survivability.

This study engineers bacteria to sense and grow in response to specific environmental cues, improving targeted colonization in the gastrointestinal tract.
