The composition and organization of the cell walls from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida
albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Neurospora crassa, and …

Pathogenic fungi have become a leading cause of human mortality due to the increasing
frequency of fungal infections in immunocompromised populations and the limited …

In this review, we discuss new insights in cell wall architecture and cell wall construction in
the ascomycetous yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Transcriptional profiling studies …

The Candida albicans cell wall maintains the structural integrity of the organism in addtion to
providing a physical contact interface with the environment. The major components of the …

Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that is found in the normal
gastrointestinal flora of most healthy humans. However, under certain environmental …

Candida albicans interactions with epithelial cells are critical for commensal growth, fungal
pathogenicity and host defence. This review will outline our current understanding of C …

Candida albicans is one of the most important opportunistic pathogenic fungi. Weakening of
the defense mechanisms of the host, and the ability of the microorganism to adapt to the …

The fungus, Candida albicans, interacts with epithelial cells in the human host both as a
normal commensal and as an invasive pathogen. It has evolved multiple complementary …

The agglutinin-like sequence (ALS) family of Candida albicans includes eight genes that
encode large cell-surface glycoproteins. The high degree of sequence relatedness between …

The survival of all organisms depends critically upon interactions with the environment,
mediated largely through the action of small molecules. Small molecules can provide the …
