Previous studies have established that phagocytes are key cells of the pulmonary innate
immune defense against A. fumigatus, an opportunistic fungus responsible of invasive …

Aspergillus fumigatus is a mold that causes severe pulmonary infections. Our knowledge of
how A. fumigatus growth is controlled in the respiratory tract is developing, but still limited …

Aspergillus fumigatus causes invasive aspergillosis in immunosuppressed patients. In the
immunocompetent host, inhaled conidia are cleared by alveolar macrophages. The …

Aspergillus fumigatus airway infections are associated with increased rates of
hospitalizations and declining lung function in patients with chronic lung disease. While the …

Aspergillus fumigatius is a ubiquitous saprophytic fungus that has become the most
prevalent airborne fungal pathogen for immunocompromised patients during the last two …

Cytokine networking in the lung in response to inhaled Aspergillus fumigatus was assessed
using a murine model of primary pulmonary aspergillosis in immunocompetent Crl: CF-1 …

Aspergillus fumigatus is an opportunistic environmental mold that can cause severe allergic
responses in atopic individuals and poses a life-threatening risk for severely …

Aspergillus fumigatus causes life-threatening infections in patients with qualitative and
quantitative defects in phagocytic function. Here, we examined the contribution of Toll-like …

Aspergillus fumigatus is a fungal pathogen of major clinical importance. However, little is
known about the role of human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) during A. fumigatus …

Aspergillus fumigatus, an opportunistic fungal pathogen, causes multiple allergic and non-
allergic airway diseases. Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a nonallergic, life …
