Entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveria bassiana are the only insect pathogens able to
start the infection process by penetrating through the host cuticle. However, some insects try …

Cell surface proteins are essential for many important biological processes, including cell–
cell interactions, signal transduction, and molecular transportation. With the characteristics of …

Fungal infections are a growing health care challenge. Neutrophils play a key role in
defense against fungal infections. There are many effective ways for neutrophils to eliminate …

Fungi are among the most successful eukaryotes on Earth: they have evolved strategies to
