Biological systems are composed of heterogeneous populations of cells that
intercommunicate to form a functional living tissue. Biological function varies greatly across …

Candida is the most implicated fungal pathogen in the clinical setting. Several factors play
important roles in the pathogenesis of Candida spp. Multiple transcriptional circuits …

Quorum sensing (QS) is one of the most studied cell-cell communication mechanisms in
fungi. Research in the last 20 years has explored various fungal QS systems that are …

Stress (biotic or abiotic) is an unfavourable condition for an organism including fungus. To
overcome stress, organism expresses heat‐shock proteins (Hsps) or chaperons to perform …

During their life cycles, pathogens have to adapt to many biotic and abiotic environmental
stresses to maximize their overall fitness. Morphological transitions are one of the least …

The pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans exhibits morphological changes in cell
size during lung infection, producing both typical size 5 to 7 μm cells and large titan cells (> …

Recently, the functionality of under oil open microfluidics was expanded from droplet-based
operations to include lateral flow in under oil aqueous channels. However, the resolution of …

Mucor circinelloides and other members of Mucorales are filamentous fungi, widely used as
model organisms in basic and applied studies. Although genetic manipulation methods …

Morphogenesis in fungi is often induced by extracellular factors and executed by fungal
genetic factors. Cell surface changes and alterations of the microenvironment often …

Bacterial quorum sensing is a well-characterized communication system that governs a
large variety of collective behaviours. By comparison, quorum sensing regulation in …
