But the cancer drug Imatinib can prevent the compartmentalisation:<\/strong> When immunocompromised people breathe in the spores of the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, this can trigger aspergillosis. This infection is particularly difficult to treat because the fungus surrounds itself with a biofilm and thus protects itself from attacks by the immune system and especially against anti-fungal drugs. The team led by Prof. Routier (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/?page_id=5431\">RESIST project C3<\/a>) from the MHH Institute of Clinical Biochemistry has now succeeded in preventing the formation of such an Aspergillus biofilm with the help of a drug from cancer chemotherapy. The study was supported by RESIST and has been published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences.<\/p>\n<p>The detailed press release of the Hannover Medical School can be found on the MHH homepage, which you can reach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mhh.de\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">via this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The original research paper in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences can be accessed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/1422-0067\/24\/3\/1851\/html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">via this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The photo shows<\/strong> Prof. Dr. Fran\u00e7oise Routier (right) and her Patricia Zarnovican.
