The fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans (C. neoformans) forms yeast cells of
different sizes and morphological characteristics during infection. These features are usually …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungal pathogen with worldwide distribution. Serological
studies of human populations show a high prevalence of human infection, which rarely …

The origin of virulence in environmental fungi that have no requirement for animal hosts in
their life cycle is enigmatic. Cryptococcus neoformans is a human pathogenic fungus with …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a major human central nervous system (CNS) fungal pathogen
causing considerable morbidity and mortality. In this study, we provide the widest view to …

Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii are fungal pathogens that cause life-threatening
disease. These fungi commonly enter their host via inhalation into the lungs where they …

The human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans is able to rapidly and effectively
adapt to varying conditions, favoring its survival in the environment and in the infected host …

Proteins secreted by the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans may be involved in
invasion and could be useful in vaccine design. Despite the medical importance of this …

The fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans causes approximately one million cases of
cryptococcosis per year in people with AIDS. In contrast, the related species C. gattii is …

Secreted proteins are the frontline between the host and pathogen. In mammalian hosts,
secreted proteins enable invasive infection and can modulate the host immune response …

The fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans has three major virulence factors: growth at
37° C, capsule synthesis, and melanin formation. Recently in Cell, Liu et al.(2008) employed …
