The fungal skin pathogen apparently helps itself by producing toxin-like substances that facilitate infection of new hosts.

These substances can suppress the immune response and thus accelerate the spread of the pathogen among humans.

Today is the International Day Against Violence and Bullying at School.

An ERC-funded research has revealed that bullying triggers the same stress responses in the brain as physical threats.

Let’s continue raising awareness, offering support, and speaking up.

🦠 Kožní infekce, které se šíří od domácích morčat na lidi, způsobuje houba Trichophyton benhamiae var. luteum.

🔬 Nová studie týmu z @mbuavcr.bsky.social nyní odhaluje, proč je tak úspěšná – zřejmě si pomáhá tvorbou látek podobných toxinům.
