infections of the central nervous system in patients with impaired immunity but also …

Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen and a leading cause of death
in immunocompromised individuals. The interactions of this yeast with host phagocytes are …

Background The interaction between macrophages and Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn) is
critical for containing dissemination of this pathogenic yeast. However, Cn can either lyse …

Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii are fungal pathogens that cause life-threatening
disease. These fungi commonly enter their host via inhalation into the lungs where they …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungal pathogen with worldwide distribution. Serological
studies of human populations show a high prevalence of human infection, which rarely …

Cryptococcosis is an opportunistic infection due to the ubiquitous yeast Cryptococcus
neoformans. This yeast interacts closely with innate immune cells, leading to various fates …

Cryptococcosis is a life-threatening disease caused by the encapsulated yeast,
Cryptococcus neoformans. Although infection with C. neoformans is initiated in the lungs …

Cytokines have been recognized as key factors in determining host resistance to infectious
pathogens. In particular, Th1-Th2 cytokine balance in hosts is profoundly associated with the …

Cryptococcal infections are primarily caused by two related fungal species: Cryptococcus
neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii. It is well known that C. neoformans generally affects …

Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn) is an encapsulated yeast that is a facultative intracellular
