Researchers from Bahauddin Zakariya University, in collaboration with other institutions, have developed a novel mRNA-based vaccine targeting antifungal-resistant Lomentospora prolificans. This opportunistic pathogen causes disseminated disease and has high mortality rates among immunocompromised individuals. The study aimed to identify potential antigenic proteins for vaccine design and evaluated the physicochemical properties,
