Visible‐Light‐Activated Molecular Machines Kill Fungi by Necrosis Following Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Calcium Overload
Abstract Invasive fungal infections are a growing public health threat. As fungi become increasingly resistant to existing drugs, new antifungals are urgently needed. Here, it is reported that 405‐nm‐visible‐light‐activated synthetic molecular machines (MMs) eliminate planktonic and biofilm fungal p...
