Vast efforts have been devoted to the development of antifungal drugs targeting the cell wall,
but the supramolecular architecture of this carbohydrate-rich composite remains …

The high mortality of invasive fungal infections, and the limited number and inefficacy of
antifungals necessitate the development of new agents with novel mechanisms and targets …

While establishing an invasive infection, the dormant conidia of Aspergillus fumigatus transit
through swollen and germinating stages, to form hyphae. During this morphotype transition …

The fungal cell wall is essential for growth and survival, and is a key target for antifungal
drugs and the immune system. The cell wall must be robust but flexible, protective and …

Cell walls are essential in the interaction of fungi with the (a) biotic environment and are also
key to hyphal morphogenesis and mechanical strength. Here, we used solid-state NMR …

The cell wall is composed of a polysaccharide‐based three‐dimensional network.
Considered for a long time as an inert exoskeleton, the cell wall is now seen as a dynamic …

Analysis of the cell wall of Aspergillus fumigatus is guided by obvious biological reasons: the
cell wall protects the fungus against the aggressive human defense reactions, it harbours …

The fungal cell wall is a dynamic structure that protects the cell from changes in osmotic
pressure and other environmental stresses, while allowing the fungal cell to interact with its …

The molecular composition of the cell wall is critical for the biology and ecology of each
fungal species. Fungal walls are composed of matrix components that are embedded and …

Physical and biological properties of the fungal cell wall are determined by the composition
and arrangement of the structural polysaccharides. Cell wall polymers of fungi are …
