DR. INGOLD has for some time paid special attention to the discharge of spores, particularly in the group of fungi, stimulated as he gratefully acknowledges by the important contributions Prof.
compared to days without thunderstorms (n = 919 days), daily asthma visits increased from 8.6 to 10 (p < 0.05), and air concentrations of fungal spores doubled (from 1,512 to 2,749/m 3), with ...
Our findings support the existence of "thunder-storm asthma." Daily asthma hospital admissions increased 15% on days with thunderstorms. This effect is smaller than the few earlier studies ...
A special enzyme on the surface of the fungal spores—glycosylasparaginase—apparently suppresses the release of pro-inflammatory substances by immune cells, making it easier for the pathogen to ...
Fungi grow by releasing spores that turn into long, filamentous threads that are thinner than a strand of human hair, explained Nicholas P. Money, a fungal biologist at Miami University in Oxford ...
There are roughly 14,000 known species of mushrooms, but only a fraction of those fungi are edible. Long-time friend of the show, Zach Papaleoni, is the owner and operator of Spore to Fork, the ...
