September 2022 in “Medical Mycology” Three different methods were compared for creating Titan cells, a type of fungus cell. The OZ method made the most cells initially, but the number dropped quickly. The EB method also made a lot of cells, but the number also dropped. The AA method made fewer cells, but the number stayed steady. The methods also affected which genes were active in the cells.
