Parallel evolution under constraint shapes echinocandin resistance in Candida auris

Quote: Drug resistance emerges repeatedly in outbreaks of Candida fungal pathogens, but little is known about its origins or persistence. Here, we investigated the evolutionary processes shaping echinocandin resistance in Candida auris, a globally emerging and predominantly clonal fungal pathogen....

In FKS2, there is no evidence of hotspots and little support for diversifying selection. Together, these results indicate that resistance mutations emerge under strong genetic constraint, with adaptation restricted to only one FKS homolog and predominantly at mutational hotspots.

HEPA Air Purifiers May Boost Brain Function After Just One Month

Quote: Using an in-home HEPA purifier for one month spurs a small but significant improvement in brain function in adults age 40 and older. Thats the result of a new study we co-authored in the journal Scientific Reports. HEPA purifiers HEPA stands for high efficiency particulate air remove particulate matter from the air. Exposure to particulate matter has been connected to respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses as well as neurological diseases such as Alzheimers and Parkinsons. Environmental health researchers increasingly recommend that people use HEPA air purifiers in their homes to lower their exposure to particulate matter, but few studies have examined whether using them boosts mental function.
