Most of the fungal species that infect humans can grow in more than one morphological form
but only a subset of pathogens produce filamentous hyphae during the infection process …

Aspergillus moulds exist ubiquitously as spores that are inhaled in large numbers daily.
Whilst most are removed by anatomical barriers, disease may occur in certain …

Fungal evolutionary biology is impeded by the scarcity of fossils, irregular life cycles,
immortality, and frequent asexual reproduction. Simple and diminutive bodies of fungi …

Despite the strong interest in the NK cell-mediated immunity toward malignant cells and
viruses, there is a relative lack of data on the interplay between NK cells and filamentous …

An increasing number of people is affected by fungal biofilm-based infections, which are
resistant to the majority of currently-used antifungal drugs. Such infections are often caused …

Filamentous fungi represent classical examples for environmentally acquired human
pathogens whose major virulence mechanisms are likely to have emerged long before the …

Mucorales can cause cutaneous to deep-seated infections, mainly in the
immunocompromised host, resulting in high mortality rates due to late and inefficient …

Awareness of the roles that host‐associated microbes play in host biology has escalated in
recent years. However, microbiome studies have focused essentially on bacteria, and …

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

Fungal development and secondary metabolism is intimately associated via activities of the
fungi‐specific velvet family proteins. Here we characterize the four velvet regulators in the …
