CCMB Researchers Identify Biological Pathway Behind Deadly Fungal Titan Cells

Scientists at the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) have uncovered the specific biological circuit that triggers the formation of 'Titan cells' in a deadly fungus.

These oversized cells are known to be highly resistant to immune system attacks, making infections significantly harder to treat in clinical settings.

The discovery provides a new target for drug development, potentially allowing researchers to disarm the fungus by preventing the formation of these protective Titan cells.
