Immune cells get transformed into fungus-fighting nanoparticles
Researchers at UC San Diego have developed antifungal nanoparticles derived from human macrophage cell membranes. These particles physically damage fungal cells and boost immune responses, offering a potential new treatment for drug-resistant infections.
Why it matters
As fungal infections become increasingly resistant to traditional medications, this bio-inspired nanotechnology provides a novel, more effective strategy for treating life-threatening infections.
