A new way to protect the brain from fungal infections

Release date: 2017-08-22

A recent study has found a way to prevent deadly fungi from "hijacking" the body's immune system and preventing fungi from spreading into the brain. The study was completed by the University of Birmingham, the University of Sheffield, the University of Leuven and the Harvard University School of Medicine and is currently published in the journal Science Advances.

The research team studied cryptococcosis, an airborne fungus that infects humans and animals. This disease can cause lung infections, which can then spread through the white blood cells to the brain.

Birmingham University professor Robin May said: "At the beginning of the infection, the macrophages first engulf the invading bacteria or fungi, then digest, and then mobilize the immune response. However, microorganisms such as cryptococcosis have evolved to be able to be in white blood cells. The ability to survive - use white blood cells as a public transportation system, and take advantage of this opportunity to spread the whole body. Although we know that many white blood cells can throw these 'hijackers' through the 'vomiting mechanism', but we do not know the 'vomiting mechanism' 'How is it controlled? This study is to study the mechanism of white blood cell recognition and discharge of these "hijackers". Through this research, we can prevent the spread of not only Cryptococcus infection, but also other worlds. The spread of human infectious diseases."

In this study, Professor Robin May found that the signal that controls the behavior of white blood cells, ERK5, can be manipulated to make white blood cells better excrete pathogens or to seal pathogens in cells and to give pathogens. Longer killing.

"We found that after silence of the ERK5 gene in zebrafish, the probability of vomiting of white blood cells increased, thus preventing the infection of deadly fungi from spreading into the brain," Robin May said. "The results of this research have given us a deeper, more subtle, new understanding of the human immune system. We hope to develop treatments that can prevent infections from spreading further in the body, and can expand the study to see the process. Is there a similar effect in other diseases?"

LLLT, also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy, is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses low-intensity lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to stimulate cellular function in the body. It is also referred to as cold laser therapy or photobiomodulation.

During LLLT, the laser or LED devices emit specific wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin and interact with the cells. This interaction triggers various biological responses, such as increased circulation, enhanced tissue repair, reduced inflammation, and pain relief.

LLLT is commonly used in various medical and therapeutic fields, including dermatology, sports medicine, physical therapy, and pain management. It is often employed to treat conditions such as chronic pain, arthritis, musculoskeletal injuries, wound healing, hair loss, and skin disorders.


The treatment is generally painless and has minimal side effects. However, the exact mechanisms of how LLLT works are still being studied, and its effectiveness may vary depending on the specific condition being treated. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before undergoing LLLT treatment.
