Inhaled conidia of Aspergillus fumigatus rapidly adhere to pulmonary epithelial cells and
other host constituents. Identifying molecular mechanisms underlying A. fumigatus …

Considering the importance of proteins in the structure and function of the cell wall of
Candida albicans, we analyzed the cell wall subproteome of this important human pathogen …

Candida albicans is the most common cause of fungal bloodstream infections. To invade the
deep tissues, blood-borne organisms must cross the endothelial cell lining of the …

Candida albicans occupies a microniche on mucosal surfaces where diverse microbial
populations interact within a biofilm. Because C. albicans is intimately involved with other …

One of defense mechanisms of the human immune system to counteract infection by the
opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans is the recruitment of neutrophils to the site …

Moonlighting proteins represent an intriguing area of cell biology, due to their ability to
perform two or more unrelated functions in one or many cellular compartments. These …

In the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans, the CUG codon is translated 97% of the
time as serine and 3% of the time as leucine, which potentially originates an array of …

In the last twenty years, there has been a significant increase in invasive fungal infections,
which has corresponded with the expanding population of individuals with compromised …

The cell wall of the human-pathogenic fungus Candida albicans is a robust but also dynamic
structure which mediates adaptation to changing environmental conditions during infection …

Commensal and pathogenic states of Candida albicans depend on cell surface-expressed
adhesins, including those of the Als family. Mature Als proteins consist of a 300-residue N …
