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 immune system has to cope with a wide range of irregularly shaped pathogens that can
actively move (eg, by flagella) and also dynamically remodel their shape (eg, transition from …

Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is threatening public health. A large number of …

Increasing incidence of fungal infections of recent times requires immediate intervention.
Fungal infections are seldom construed at initial stages that intensify the severity of …

Opportunistic fungal infections have high mortality in patients with severe immune
dysfunction. Growing evidence suggests that the immune environment of invasive fungal …

Transposable elements (TEs) are drivers of genome evolution and affect the expression
landscape of the host genome. Stress is a major factor inducing TE activity; however, the …

Transposable elements (TEs) spread in genomes through self-copying mechanisms and are
a major cause of genome expansions. Plant pathogens have finely tuned the expression of …

Fungal infections represent a constant and growing menace to human health, because of
the emergence of new species as causative agents of diseases and the increment of …

The association between Candida albicans (C. albicans) and cancer has been noticed for
decades. Whether C. albicans infection is a complication of cancer status or as a contributor …

Recognition of microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) by cell-surface receptors is
pivotal in host-microbe interactions. Both pathogens and symbionts establish plant-microbe …
