Description
Cecilia Gutierrez-Perez leads a team of nine authors in 2026 in studying a gene called arvA in Aspergillus fumigatus, a mold that threatens people with weak immune systems. The fungus is growing harder to treat as strains resist frontline drugs, so its basic biology matters.
The team found that arvA, thought to code for a lipid transporter, is needed for normal growth, drug response, and cell wall upkeep. Without it, spores swell too much and sprout stunted threads that cannot keep a clear direction. The work ties one gene to the shape changes the mold needs to cause disease.
