Minc Lab – Cell wall dynamics stabilize tip growth in a filamentous fungus

Home publis, News18 January 2023
The Minc team has just published a new paper in  PLOS Biology Cell wall dynamics stabilize tip growth in a filamentous fungus   Abstract Hyphal tip growth allows filamentous fungi to colonize space, reproduce, or infect. It features remarkable morphogenetic plasticity including unusually fast elongation rates, tip turning, branching, or bulging. These shape changes are all driven from…
