methods used to measure them (A) Epithelial cell interactions with live fungus and fungal CF …

Jean-Paul's research interest is focused on the analysis of the structure and biosynthesis of
the cell wall of Aspergillus fumigatus and its interaction with the host. The A. fumigatus …

Development of A. fumigatus in the host tissues is due to the intrinsic biological
characteristics of this fungus and to the impairment of the cellular defence reactions of the …

The immunocompromised airways are susceptible to infections caused by a range of
pathogens which increases the opportunity for polymicrobial interactions to occur …

Aspergillus fumigatus is a filamentous fungus and the main pathogen responsible for the
often fatal respiratory condition, aspergillosis. Airway epithelial cells (AECs) are likely to be …

Exome sequencing of individuals with aspergillosis demonstrates genetic variants that may
impact on the structure/function of the respiratory epithelium and replication of these …

This chapter reviews cellular and molecular events in the pathogenesis of Mycobacterium
Tuberculosis, with emphasis on those applicable to the lung. As an airborne pathogen, it is …

Aspergillus (A.) fumigatus is a very important opportunistic fungus. It causes about 90% of
the systemic infections due to Aspergillus. The primary site of infection is the lung. The …

Aspergillus fumigatus is a saprophytic fungus that leaves in the soil in decaying organic
material. Its thermophilly, the ubiquity of the conidia in the atmosphere, their small size, and …
