"The present results indicate that resveratrol has the potential to serve as an anti-Candida treatment and preventive tool which functions by inhibiting existing or under-forming C. albicans biofilms."https://t.co/Xk0k3qIaqe
"Based on these findings, resveratrol may be deemed an effective treatment for depression in animal models at doses between 10–80 mg/kg/day, although higher doses had the most significant effects."https://t.co/LutVOmjLuM
Did you know that serotonin impairs yeast?https://t.co/4ZAm3Phf7z
"In conclusion, our findings suggest that the interaction between 5-HT and C. albicans may diminish the virulence properties of this fungal pathogen."https://t.co/cTXBRXbPdB
"They injected C. albicans into the blood stream of mice and were surprised to discover that the yeast can cross the blood-brain barrier"https://t.co/0L9mgvduf7How am I not surprised?
"could be of interest to guide targeted antimicrobial therapy for AD patients. Moreover, the variety of microbial species in each patient may constitute a basis for a better understanding of the evolution and severity of clinical symptoms in each patient."https://t.co/WAJdV0gJxY https://t.co/CCMatNUVvd
WHY?"Malassezia has the propensity to develop biofilm, which represents a serious health threat and can create a source of persistent infections."https://t.co/W39yUv1JdM
huh."Biofilm production from mixed cultures was greater than for single strains (P < .05). All sessile forms of the single and dual cultures were resistant to the tested antifungals itraconazole and ketoconazole, whereas planktonic forms were susceptible"https://t.co/9GoBJ5Rc95
Is it like lichen? Are they buddies?"Lichens are commonly described as a mutualistic symbiosis between fungi and “algae” (Chlorophyta or Cyanobacteria); however, they also have internal bacterial communities."https://t.co/DKTHiXGjeu
If you isolate a bacteria or a fungus and test the anti-biofilm components of an isolated pharma or plant based product... You're going to miss the complex interactions that take place in the real world.Like Yeast helping Lichen.https://t.co/LmZaiNR3YL
Baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) can break down hydrogen peroxide.So if your body isn't producing enough, it will eat straight thru your mucus barrier? https://t.co/ZlBqZLx58b
I wonder if Candida Albicans is doing that https://t.co/2nwxYCqoBr
This says there are both conserved and unconserved mutations related to (h2o2 assoc.) stresses due to the species' divergent evolution. And that you'll probably want to combine stresses together combinatorically to have the most impacts. https://t.co/Sd4mQvgi36 https://t.co/JK8aMrFeJv
There are spooky possibilities around yeast species fucking each other and viral transpositions. https://t.co/yn2eIJ1qLE
Host Compatible"answer that question would be to try swapping out the genetic material – basically, disable a gene in yeast, then replace it with the human version [...] roughly half of these yeast genes could be readily replaced with the human version."https://t.co/wImkYXDqd6
