As in other eukaryotes, protein kinases play major regulatory roles in filamentous fungi.
Although the genomes of many plant pathogenic fungi have been sequenced, systematic …

Upon Cryptococcus neoformans infection of the host lung, the fungus enters a nutrient poor
environment and must adapt to a variety of host-specific stress conditions (temperature …

The pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans produces polyploid titan cells in response
to the host lung environment that are critical for host adaptation and subsequent disease …

The fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans has several virulence factors, among which
the most important is a polysaccharide capsule. The size of the capsule is variable and can …

The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cassette of the cell wall integrity (CWI)
pathway is primarily responsible for orchestrating changes of cell wall. However, functions of …

Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated pathogenic yeast, which causes life
threatening meningitis in immunocompromised individuals. C. neoformans var. grubii is the …

Adaptation to the host environment is crucial for fungal pathogenesis. Calcium (Ca 2+)
signals are essential for fungal cells to respond rapidly to stress stimuli. In eukaryotic cells …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic basidiomycetous yeast that can cause life-
threatening meningoencephalitis in immuno-compromized patients. To propagate in the …

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

Wolfiporia cocos is an edible and medicinal fungus that grows in association with pine trees,
and its dried sclerotium, known as Fuling in China, has been used as a traditional medicine …
