A major virulence attribute of Candida albicans is its ability to form biofilms, densely packed
communities of cells adhered to a surface. These biofilms are intrinsically resistant to …

In humans, microbial cells (including bacteria, archaea, and fungi) greatly outnumber host
cells. Candida albicans is the most prevalent fungal species of the human microbiota; this …

Transcription factors canonically bind nucleosome-free DNA, making the positioning of
nucleosomes within regulatory regions crucial to the regulation of gene expression. Using …

Acute stress puts cells at risk, and rapid adaptation is crucial for maximizing cell survival.
Cellular adaptation mechanisms include modification of certain aspects of cell physiology …

A biofilm is an organized, resilient group of microbes in which individual cells acquire
properties, such as drug resistance, that are distinct from those observed in suspension …

The ability of Candida spp. to form biofilms is crucial for its pathogenicity, and thus, it should
be considered an important virulence factor in vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and recurrent …

The gaseous plant hormone ethylene regulates a multitude of growth and developmental
processes. How the numerous growth control pathways are coordinated by the ethylene …

An appropriate response and adaptation to hyperosmolarity, ie., an external osmolarity that
is higher than the physiological range, can be a matter of life or death for all cells. It is …

Here we review recent advances in understanding the regulation of mRNA synthesis in
Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Many fundamental gene regulatory mechanisms have been …

The inability of neurons to regenerate long axons within the CNS is a major impediment to
improving outcome after spinal cord injury, stroke, and other CNS insults. Recent advances …
