The fungal cell wall is located outside the plasma membrane and is the cell compartment
that mediates all the relationships of the cell with the environment. It protects the contents of …

The perspectives of regenerative medicine are still severely hampered by the host response
to biomaterial implantation, despite the robustness of technologies that hold the promise to …

The molecular composition of the cell wall is critical for the biology and ecology of each
fungal species. Fungal walls are composed of matrix components that are embedded and …

The threat of new viral outbreaks has heightened the need for ready-to-use vaccines that are
safe and effective. Here we show that a subcutaneous vaccine consisting of live Zika virus …

The surveillance and elimination of fungal pathogens rely heavily on the sentinel behaviour
of phagocytic cells of the innate immune system, especially macrophages and neutrophils …

Nanochitin and nanochitosan (with random‐copolymer‐based multiscale architectures of
glucosamine and N‐acetylglucosamine units) have recently attracted immense attention for …

The 18 glycosyl hydrolase family of chitinases is an ancient gene family that is widely
expressed from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. In mammals, despite the absence of endogenous …

The introduction of vaccines is regarded as one of the most successful medical interventions
to date. However, there is a clear need for the development of new vaccines for diseases …

Therapeutic peptides/proteins and protein-based antigens are chemically and structurally
labile compounds, which are almost exclusively administered by parenteral injections …

Chitin, a potential allergy-promoting pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP), is a
