albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Neurospora crassa, and …

Aspergillus species are globally ubiquitous saprophytes found in a variety of ecological
niches. Almost 200 species of aspergilli have been identified, less than 20 of which are …

Vast efforts have been devoted to the development of antifungal drugs targeting the cell wall,
but the supramolecular architecture of this carbohydrate-rich composite remains …

The cell wall is composed of a polysaccharide‐based three‐dimensional network.
Considered for a long time as an inert exoskeleton, the cell wall is now seen as a dynamic …

The genus Aspergillus contains etiologic agents of aspergillosis. The clinical manifestations
of the disease range from allergic reaction to invasive pulmonary infection. Among the …

Aspergillus fumigatus is an opportunistic pathogen that causes 90% of invasive aspergillosis
(IA) due to Aspergillus genus, with a 50–95% mortality rate. It has been postulated that …

Cell surface carbohydrates have been proven optimal targets for vaccine development.
Conjugation of polysaccharides to a carrier protein triggers a T-cell-dependent immune …

Aspergillus fumigatus, an opportunistic human pathogen, frequently infects the lungs of
people with cystic fibrosis and is one of the most common causes of infectious-disease …

Aspergillus fumigatus is the most important airborne fungal pathogen, causing severe
infections with invasive growth in immunocompromised patients. The fungal cell wall (CW) …

In the past three decades invasive mycoses have globally emerged as a persistent source of
healthcare-associated infections. The cell wall surrounding the fungal cell opposes the …
