Future Prospects and Challenges in Mucormycosis Research

Mucormycosis is an increasingly important, life-threatening human fungal infection caused by Mucorales, and it has limited therapeutic options, a lack of biomarkers for early diagnosis, and incompletely characterized immunopathogenesis [...].
