Candida

The new yeast was discovered for the first time by chance in a mouse intestine (fluorescence microscope image of intestinal tissue, in red - yeast cells named after Weizmann)

Yeast against yeast: Healthy competition between different fungal species in the gut may protect against life-threatening infections

Scientists of the Weizmann Institute of Science have discovered a new species of Schmer that is able to push the legs of other species that may be dangerous to health; The scientists named the new species after Dr. Chaim Weizman
An AIRE-ILC3 cell (in green) kisses a TH17 cell (in red) and thus commands it to proliferate (top row). In contrast, it does not bind to other T cells that are not designed to fight candida (bottom line)

The cells that prevent candida from returning

Weizmann Institute of Science scientists have uncovered a mechanism of the immune system that helps fight Candida infections
