Fungus-targeted nanomicelles enable microRNA delivery for suppression of virulence in Aspergillus fumigatus as a novel antifungal approach

Researchers developed a new way to fight dangerous fungal infections caused by Aspergillus fumigatus by using tiny particles called nanomicelles to deliver genetic material (microRNAs) directly into fungal cells. These microRNAs target and reduce the production of melanin, a protective pigment that helps the fungus resist immune attacks. By weakening this defense, the fungal cells become more vulnerable to the body’s immune system and to stress, offering a novel approach to treat serious fungal infections that have become resistant to standard antifungal drugs.
