The CDC has reported cases of a potentially deadly fungus in 23 U.S. states this year. The data highlights concerns about the spread of the fungal infection.

Chinese scientists have developed sustainable textiles from a fungus that can self-clean and regenerate. The fabric can be customized using microorganisms for features like color and UV protection, addressing challenges in scaling engineered living materials (ELMs) into durable structures.

Researchers have developed a biodegradable textile made from living organisms, specifically fungus, that can host engineered microbes. These microbes enable the textile to change color or provide UV protection.

Cases of a fungus identified as one of the greatest threats to public health are surging, according to officials. The rise has prompted warnings about the potential risks to public health.

Scientists discovered a spore capable of surviving the journey to Mars, raising concerns that NASA's cleanrooms may not prevent contamination. The resilient fungus could pose risks to planetary protection and future missions.

Scientists discovered a spore capable of surviving the journey to Mars, raising concerns about planetary contamination. NASA's cleanrooms, designed to prevent microbial spread, may not fully contain the resilient fungus.
