The burden of fungal infections is not widely appreciated. Although these infections are
responsible for over one million deaths annually, it is estimated that one billion people are …

The global burden of fungal disease poses a substantial threat to human, animal, and
environmental health, endangering both human and livestock populations and creating …

Plants have evolved numerous molecular strategies to cope with perturbations in
environmental temperature, and to adjust growth and physiology to limit the negative effects …

Treating fungal infections is challenging and frequently requires long-term courses of
antifungal drugs. Considering the limited number of existing antifungal drugs, it is crucial to …

Evidence that the innate immune system can respond with forms of memory upon reinfection
has been accumulating over the past few years. These phenomena of “immune priming” in …

Spliceosomal introns are noncoding sequences that are spliced from pre-mRNA. They are
ubiquitous in eukaryotic genomes, although the average number of introns per gene varies …

Keratin is important and needed for the growth of dermatophytes in the host tissue. In turn,
the ability to invade keratinised tissues is defined as a pivotal virulence attribute of this group …

Alternative splicing is a common but complex posttranscriptional regulatory process in
eukaryotes, through which multiple different transcripts are produced from a single pre …

The ability of fungi to sense environmental stressors and appropriately respond is linked to
secretory system functions. The dermatophyte infection process depends on an orchestrated …

Abstract Background Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a group of noncoding RNAs that
participate in gene expression regulation in various pathways. The essential roles of …
