For more than 40 years fungi have been known to produce pigments known as melanins.
Predominantly these have been dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA)-melanin and …

Aspergillus fumigatus is a ubiquitous saprophytic mold (67) that forms airborne spores
(conidia). Humans inhale, on average, hundreds of these infectious propagules daily. In …

Aspergillus fumigatus causes a wide range of diseases that include mycotoxicosis, allergic
reactions and systemic diseases (invasive aspergillosis) with high mortality rates …

Aspergillus fumigatus is a ubiquitous fungus that plays an important role in carbon and
nitrogen recycling in nature. Because A. fumigatus is thermotolerant, it is a predominant …

Aspergillus fumigatus is an important pathogen of immunocompromised hosts, causing
pneumonia and invasive disseminated disease and resulting in high mortality. In order to …

Aspergillus fumigatus is an important opportunistic fungal pathogen. The cAMP-dependent
protein kinase (PKA) signaling pathway plays an important role in regulating morphology …

Aspergillus fumigatus is the predominant mold pathogen in patients who lack functional
innate immunity. The A. fumigatus rhbA gene was first identified as a transcript that was …

The genome of Aspergillus fumigatus encodes two isoforms of the catalytic subunit of the
cAMP‐dependent Protein Kinase (PKA). Although deletion of the class I isoform, pkaC1 …

This review provides an overview of several molecular and cellular approaches that are
likely to supply insights into the host-fungus interaction. Fungi present intra-and/or …
