The human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans is characterized by its ability to
induce a distinct polysaccharide capsule in response to a number of host-specific …

The capsule of the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans has been studied extensively
in recent decades and a large body of information is now available to the scientific …

Cryptococcus neoformans produces vesicles containing its major virulence factor, the
capsular polysaccharide glucuronoxylomannan (GXM). These vesicles cross the cell wall to …

The capsule of Cryptococcus neoformans is its dominant virulence factor and plays a key
role in the biology of this fungus. In this essay, we focus on the capsule as a cellular …

The mechanisms by which macromolecules are transported through the cell wall of fungi are
not known. A central question in the biology of Cryptococcus neoformans, the causative …

The interaction between fungal pathogens with the host frequently results in morphological
changes, such as hyphae formation. The encapsulated pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a facultative intracellular pathogen. The most distinctive feature
of C. neoformans is a polysaccharide capsule that enlarges depending on environmental …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic fungus responsible for severe opportunistic
infections. The most prominent feature of this yeast is its elaborate polysaccharide capsule …

Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated pathogenic yeast that can change the size of
the cells during infection. In particular, this process can occur by enlarging the size of the …

The cell wall of pathogenic fungi such as Cryptococcus neoformans, provides a formidable
barrier to secrete virulence factors that produce host cell damage. To study secretion of …
