The cell wall in Candida albicans is not only a tight protective envelope but also a point of
contact with the human host that provides a dynamic response to the constantly changing …

Elucidation of pathogenicity mechanisms of the most important human-pathogenic fungi,
Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans, has gained great interest in the light of the …

The commensal fungus Candida albicans secretes a considerable number of proteins and,
as in different fungal pathogens, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have also been observed. Our …

The ability to switch from yeast to hyphal growth is essential for virulence in Candida
albicans. The cell surface is the initial point of contact between the fungus and the host. In …

The ability of Candida albicans to switch from yeast to hyphal growth is essential for its
virulence. The walls and especially the covalently attached wall proteins are involved in the …

Candida albicans is the principal causative agent of lethal fungal infections, predominantly
in immunocompromised hosts. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been described as crucial …

The hyphal development of Candida albicans (C. albicans) has been considered as an
essential virulent factor for host cell damage. However, the missing link between hyphae …

The cell wall integrity (CWI) pathway of the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae has
been thoroughly studied as a paradigm of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) …

Some fungi cause disease in humans and plants, while others have demonstrable potential
for the control of insect pests. In addition, fungi are also a rich reservoir of therapeutic …

Invasive candidiasis (IC) is associated with high morbidity and mortality in hospitalized
patients if not diagnosed early. Long-term use of central venous catheters is a predisposing …
