Fungal networks in the soil are arguably the basis of much of life on Earth, but they're understudied and underappreciated in the conservation world. Scientists at the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks (SPUN) are trying to fix that. They just unveiled a global map of mycorrhizal fungal networks, which highlights how widespread they are and how little protection they have. Host Flora Lichtman talks with two of the SPUN mapmakers, Adriana Corrales and Michael Van Nuland, about the importance of fungal networks and why they need more protection.Guests: Dr. Adriana Corrales is a forest ecologist and scientist with the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks. She's based in Bogotá, Colombia.Dr. Michael Van Nuland is an ecologist and scientist with the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks.

The adaptability of fungi to warmer temperatures is an obvious consequence of climate change. Perhaps less obvious is the role climate change has played on fungal pathogens emerging as a global health concern. While humans are mostly protected from fungal infections by our immune system and body temperature, a warming global climate could subvert the status quo. Some fungi are already adapted to warmer temperatures and causing invasive acute infections in humans: Candidozyma auris, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus fumigatus, to name a few.  In this episode of Communicable, Angela Huttner and Josh Nosanchuk invite Arturo Casadevall, a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor at Johns Hopkins and this year's recipient of ESCMID's Excellence in Science Award, to discuss the world of fungi and their pathogenic potential in a warming world. Other topics include how to prepare for their emergence as a health threat, how fungi can be harnessed for applications that can benefit us, and ultimately answering the question Casadevall himself posed in the title of his recently published book, What if fungi win?This episode was edited by Kathryn Hostettler and peer reviewed by Robin Aerts of University Hospital Antwerp, Belgium.  References1.        Casadevall, A with Desmon S.

In this episode, we detail Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO), with a focus on fungal biofilm formation and its role in promoting microbial persistence and evasion of host immune responses. We discuss the phenotypic plasticity of Candida species, as well as biofilm matrices adherent to the intestinal mucosa. We further highlight common symptoms of SIFO as well as the effects of hypochlorhydria, reduced pancreatic enzyme and bile output, impaired motility, diminished commensal bacterial populations, and weakened mucosal immunity.Topics: 1. Introduction- Focus on the gut mucosal barrier.- Emphasis on Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO) and biofilms.2. Intestinal Barrier Anatomy- The mucosa: epithelium, lamina propria, and a thin band of smooth muscle.- The epithelial layer.- Covered by protective mucus composed of mucin glycoproteins secreted by goblet cells.- In the small intestine: less dense mucus.3. Epithelial Integrity- Tight junctions.- Paracellular barrier preventing uncontrolled antigen passage.4. Lamina Propria5. Overview of Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO)- SIFO involves fungal overgrowth in the small intestine, commonly Candida species.- Small intestines: Low microbial density due to motility, gastric acid, bile acids, immune surveillance, and more.- Contributing factors: hypochlorhydria, impaired motility, reduced digestive enzymes, diminished competitive flora, lowered immunity, and more.6. Candida Pathogenicity- Candida exhibits phenotypic plasticity: yeast and hyphal forms.- Biofilm formation.7. Biofilm Formation- Biofilms are structured communities of microbes within a self-produced extracellular matrix.- Resistance to antimicrobials and immune defenses.- Can develop on intestinal mucosa and in various other regions.8. SIFO and SIBO Overlap- Root causes and overlap between SIFO and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).- Common symptoms.9. Gastric Acid in More Detail- Stomach epithelium includes mucous, parietal, chief, and enteroendocrine cells- Parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid.- HCl denatures proteins and aids in inhibiting pathogens.- Hypochlorhydria: possible causes. 10. Downstream Effects of Low Acid11. Gut Motility in More Detail- Motility involves rhythmic smooth muscle contractions.- Enteric nervous system (ENS): myenteric and submucosal plexuses.- Dysautonomia and motility.12. SIFO Contributing Factors13. Candida Regulation- Candida generally remains in unicellular yeast form under homeostatic regulation.- Controlled by microbial competition, host defenses, antifungal peptides, and more.14. Role of Mucus and sIgA- Mucosal immunity (including sIgA) aids in regulating Candida populations.- Low sIgA levels (due to stress, immune suppression, dysbiosis,…) weaken defense 15. Conclusion- Mucosal barrier structure.- SIFO and Candida.- Biofilm formation, microbial persistence, and mucosal disruption.- SIFO and SIBO.- Multifactorial nature of fungal dysbiosis, types of biofilms, and small intestinal overgrowth.Thank you to our episode sponsor: 1.

People living with diabetes often focus on managing blood sugars, medications, and diet — but skin health is an equally important and often overlooked part of the picture. In this episode, Dr. Steve Edelman sits down with Dr. Tanya Nino, a board-certified dermatologist, to explore the skin conditions commonly seen in people with diabetes. From everyday concerns like dry, itchy skin to more serious fungal infections and rare complications like necrobiosis lipoidica, Dr. Nino offers clear explanations, helpful tips, and guidance on when to seek medical care. This episode is packed with practical advice to help people living with diabetes better protect and care for their skin.Key Topics:Dry skin in people with diabetes often results from impaired barrier function and poor circulation, increasing the risk of cracks, infection, and delayed healing.Yeast infections in skin folds are more common when high blood sugar and trapped moisture allow Candida to thrive, particularly under the breasts, groin, or abdomen.Fungal infections like athlete's foot and nail fungus are harder to treat in diabetes and can lead to serious foot complications if not managed early.Chronic itching and the itch-scratch cycle are common with dry diabetic skin and can worsen inflammation and skin damage without proper care.Dark skin patches (acanthosis nigricans) may signal insulin resistance and are often seen on the neck or underarms in people with type 2 diabetes.Shin spots (diabetic dermopathy) are harmless but visible signs of microvascular damage from long-term diabetes, often triggered by minor trauma.Skin tags in high-friction areas are linked to insulin resistance and may be an early physical marker of metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes.Necrobiosis lipoidica, a rare condition in type 1 diabetes, causes fragile reddish plaques on the shins that can ulcerate and require dermatologic care.Skin care for people with diabetes is essential to prevent infections, detect warning signs early, and protect overall health. ★ Support this podcast ★

What is Fusarium graminearum and why were scientists allegedly smuggling it into the US? Also, Alpine Glacier collapse and an HIV capitulation.The FBI has accused two Chinese scientists of trying to smuggle a dangerous crop fungus into the US, calling it a potential agro-terrorist threat. But the fungus has long been widespread across US farms, and elsewhere, and is treatable. So what's going on? Frédéric Suffert, Senior researcher in plant disease epidemiology at France's National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment, gives us some insight.Last week, a glacier above the swiss village of Blatten collapsed and up to 12 million tonnes of ice and rock buried the idyllic, yet thankfully all-but evacuated, hamlet below.

Fungal diseases are becoming more common, more dangerous, and more difficult to treat. There's concern that they may cause the next global pandemic. Rising global temperatures, better survival rates for vulnerable patients, and increased medical interventions contribute to the rise in fungal infections. Access to effective diagnostics and treatment remains limited, with significant disparities between high and low-income countries. Treating fungal infections is becoming more challenging as they build resistance to the drugs used to treat them. New therapies are being developed, including treatments that disrupt fungal DNA replication or interfere with essential proteins, offering some hope for long-term control.Contributors: Adilia Warris, Professor in Paediatric Infectious Diseases, University of Exeter, UKRita Oladele, Professor of Clinical Microbiology, University of Lagos and Lagos University Teaching Hospital, NigeriaArturo Casadevall, Professor and Chair of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, USMichael Bromley, Professor in Fungal Disease, University of Manchester, UKPresenter: Tanya Beckett Producer: Louise Clarke Researcher: Maeve Schaffer Editor: Tara McDermott Technical Producer: Richard Hannaford Production co-ordinator: Tammy Snow(Image: Aspergillus fumigatus, seen under an optical microscope.

In this encore episode, we detail the intestinal mycobiome and the mechanisms by which beneficial microbes aid in regulating opportunistic fungal species: Candida albicans. We discuss Candida overgrowth virulence and how disruptions in microbial balance, immune function, and epithelial integrity impact Candida's pathogenicity. Additionally, we discuss the role of mast cells in the lamina propria, their involvement in mucosal immunity, and how Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) can be exacerbated by fungal dysbiosis / microbial imbalances.Topics: 1. Introduction - The intestinal mycobiome and its role in intestinal health.  - Regulating populations of opportunistic fungal species like Candida albicans.- Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) intro.   2. Structure of the Intestinal Barrier- The microbiome and mucus layer: microbes, mucins, antimicrobial peptides, sIgA.- The epithelial monolayer: enterocytes, goblet cells, Paneth cells, enteroendocrine cells…- Tight junction proteins and paracellular transport.- The lamina propria beneath the epithelium: immune cells and more. 3. Candida's Pathogenicity and Barrier Disruption- Exists primarily in its yeast form, regulated by microbial competition, host immune defenses, antifungal peptides.  - Secretory IgA (sIgA) and immune surveillance mechanisms help regulate fungal populations. - Chronic stress, immune suppression, and dysbiosis can deplete sIgA, increasing susceptibility to Candida proliferation.  - Environmental triggers such as immune suppression, microbial depletion, inflammatory cytokines.- Yeast-to-hyphal transition, deeper tissue invasion.  - Secreted aspartyl proteinases (SAPs), phospholipases, candidalysin: epithelial damage.- Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and overgrowth detection. 4. Impact of Beneficial Bacteria on Candida Overgrowth  - Beneficial bacteria compete with Candida for nutrients and epithelial adhesion sites.  - Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) produced by beneficial bacteria.- Depletion of beneficial bacteria removes ecological resistance, allowing Candida to proliferate unchecked.   5. Mast Cells in the Lamina Propria and Their Role in Intestinal Immunity- Mast cell location - Upon activation, mast cells release histamine, cytokines, proteases, and more that regulate gut immune responses.  - Histamine can increase gut permeability and modulate local immune activation.  - Tryptase and chymase. - Pro-inflammatory cytokines.  6. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) - Mast cell hyperactivation.- Environmental triggers, toxins, chronic infections, and stress. - Candida overgrowth and mast cell activation.- Addressing microbial imbalances and reducing the body's total microbial, chemical, and toxin burden.- A diverse microbiome.   7.

In this episode, we discuss the gut-immune axis and Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO), with a mechanistic focus on immune activation and epithelial barrier disruption. We detail contributing factors to and symptoms of SIFO. We further discuss the anatomical positioning and immunological functions of mast cells within the lamina propria, highlighting mast cell activation syndrome, while detailing how SIFO and SIBO can serve as upstream triggers for mast cell activation.Topics:1. The Gut-Immune Axis and Mast Cells - The intestinal epithelium forms the innermost selective barrier, coated in a protective mucus layer.- Immediately beneath lies the lamina propria, rich in immune cells including mast cells. 2. Mast Cells in the Lamina Propria - Mast cells are positioned near nerves, capillaries, lymphatics, and epithelial cells within the lamina propria.- Their anatomical location enables rapid immune surveillance and inflammatory response.- Mast cell granules store histamine and more. 3. Mast Cell Mediators - Histamine: Biogenic amine, inflammatory signaling.- Tryptase: A serine protease.- Cytokines and lipid mediators also released upon activation. 4. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) - Systemic: skin, respiratory tract, cardiovascular system, nervous system, and more.- The gastrointestinal tract.- Common triggers for mast cell activation. 5. Transition to Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO) - Overgrowth of fungal organisms, often candida species, within the small intestine.- Contributing factors including hypochlorhydria, slowed motility, immune suppression, disrupted bacterial populations.- Overlap: SIFO, SIBO  6. Hypochlorhydria and the Stomach's Defense Role - Parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor.- HCl denatures proteins and sterilizes ingested pathogens.- Chief cells secrete pepsinogen, which becomes pepsin in acidic conditions to digest proteins.- Consequences of Reduced Gastric Acidity  7. The Role of Intestinal Motility - Enteric nervous system (ENS), myenteric and submucosal plexuses.- Coordinated contractions preventing stasis and microbial overgrowth. 8. Common Symptoms of SIFO and clinical overlap with SIBO 9. Candida and Fungal Pathophysiology in the Gut - Yeast form, regulated by microbial competition and immune defenses.- Hyphal transformation.- Degrade the mucus layer, disrupt epithelial integrity, trigger inflammation. 10. Secretory IgA and Mucosal Defense - Chronic stress, immune dysfunction, dysbiosis can lower sIgA levels and weaken mucosal immunity. 11. SIFO, SIBO, and Mast Cell Activation  12.

Basically, how does a brainless thread make decisions?Host Flora Lichtman is joined by Dr. Toby Kiers, an author on a recent study of those networks, and professor of evolutionary biology at Vrije University in Amsterdam. She's also the executive director of the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks (SPUN).A Rookie Robot Umpire Takes The FieldBaseball fans are eagerly awaiting opening day. And while spring training is a time for teams to test out new players and strategies, it's also a time for Major League Baseball to trial new rules and procedures. One of the things that the league has been testing this year is a robotic system to call balls and strikes.The Automated Ball-Strike System, which is based on the same technology used for line judging in tennis, isn't calling every pitch, but is used to back up a challenge system at the plate. The tech is already in use in Triple-A games, and could make it to the major leagues in the years ahead. Baseball writer Davy Andrews joins Host Ira Flatow to talk about the technology, and how it could subtly change the rules of the game.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Stefanie: Hyperhydrosis issues here! I've always had sweat profusely pouring from my hands and feet, even as a child. I'm healthy, very in tune with my body, a professional bodyworker myself, and lots of nervous system regulation as well. It's worse when I am very focused, not necessarily nervous. Any ideas on why or how to help resolve this issue?             Lynn: I am very sensitive to caffeine and have been trying to find a good decaf matcha green tea (or another type if that one isn't available). I noticed you had a recommendation for regular matcha in your resource page, but do you have any recommendations for a caffeine-free, organic ceremonial grade matcha? Thank you                                    Lara: Hi, dr. C, hope you're all well..I'm wondering about XXXX ionic foot bath therapy that uses negative ions to get rid of toxins from the body.. it comes with a chart to tell you where your toxins are coming from by the colour of the water.. do you think it actually works? It seems like it would be a great tool if it did what it says it does, but you are my go-to person to ask these things.. thank you and happy healing to everyone !                                               Milan: Dr.Cabral, I am an IHP and have ran OAT, MycoTox and gut microbiom for my client. There was SIBO and SIFO, but no leaky gut and no elevated mold markers. While we have worked on dysbiosis, gut symptoms are all gone. There is one remaining symptom left - fungal patches in the groin and armpit area. Isn't it strange that there are no elevated levels of mold neither at OAT nor at MycoTox test? Can it be really only local on the skin and not systemic? In such case, am I thinking right that local application of Citricidal with coconut oil, colodial silver and tea tree oil should heal skin fungal infection? What could be the cause?                                                                                                                                         Terri: Hi Doc! I've been listening to you for years and love your podcast! Here's a question I haven't heard. About a year ago, my bloodwork showed a high TSH and thankfully, my PCP was on board with me trying an elimination diet and allowing me to test once a month. I immediately eliminated gluten, dairy and soy and within a month my TSH fell into a normal, although not ideal, range. When my TSH was high, I noticed a small bump at the base of my big toe. It disappeared almost completely when my TSH dropped and reappeared when I tried reintroducing dairy and soy into my diet. My TSH also went back up at the same time. Could the bump on my toe be related to the thyroid or is this just coincidence?? It seems to appear and disappear with variations in my TSH. Thanks & keep up the amazing work!             Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3278 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?
