temperature response to pathogenic fungi during mammalian infection cause heat stress …

Trichosporon asahii is a conditional pathogenic fungus that causes severe and sometimes
fatal infections in immunocompromised patients. While calcineurin, an essential component …

The underlying mechanism of thermotolerance, which is a key virulence factor essential for
pathogenic fungi such as Cryptococcus neoformans, is largely unexplored. In this study, our …

The corn smut fungus, Ustilago maydis, is an excellent model for studying biotrophic plant-
pathogen interactions, including nutritional adaptation to the host environment. Iron …

The corn smut fungus, Ustilago maydis, is the premier basidiomycete model for the study of
