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 …

The complement system, which functions by lysing pathogens directly or by promoting their
uptake by phagocytes, is critical for controlling many microbial infections. Here, we show that …
