What are the Challenges in this Field of Research?
Despite the exciting potential, there are several challenges in studying fungal DNA in the context of cancer:
Contamination: Fungal DNA is ubiquitous, making it difficult to distinguish between contaminant DNA and DNA relevant to the disease. Complex Interactions: The interactions between fungi, the immune system, and cancer cells are complex and not fully understood. Technical Limitations: Current technologies may not be sensitive enough to detect low levels of fungal DNA or may produce false positives.
