Albumin, the most abundant blood protein, has been shown to inhibit the growth of Mucorales fungi, offering new insights into defense against mucormycosis and potential therapeutic strategies. doi.org/hbh6tp
Study finds albumin, the most abundant blood protein, acts as a shield against deadly fungal infections
Scientists at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB-FORTH) and the University of Crete, together with collaborators from Greece, Europe, the U.S., and India, have discovered a novel role of albumin, the most abundant protein in human blood, in protecting against a rare and often deadly fungal infection called mucormycosis.
