Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated pathogenic yeast that can change the size of
the cells during infection. In particular, this process can occur by enlarging the size of the …

Pathogenic fungal species can cause superficial and mucosal surface infections, to
potentially fatal systemic or invasive infections in humans. These infections are more …

Mucormycosis is a lethal disease caused by Mucorales, which are emerging as human
causes that explain the high mortality for this disease. Consequently, the research …

In higher eukaryotes the accelerated degradation of mRNAs harboring premature
termination codons is controlled by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), exon junction …

Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that has several well-
described virulence determinants. A polysaccharide capsule and the ability to produce …

Passaging of microbes in vitro can lead to the selection of microevolved derivatives with
differing properties to their original parent strains. One well characterised instance is the …

Mucor irregularis is an emerging fungal pathogen that cause cutaneous infection and could
cause death. However, little is known about its mechanism of pathogenesis. There is …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a basidiomycetous pathogenic yeast that causes fatal
infections in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. Regulation on the …

Cell size affects almost all biosynthetic processes by controlling the size of organelles and
disrupting the nutrient uptake process. Yeast cells must reach a critical size to be able to …
