Candida albicans is a major fungal pathogen of humans. It exists as a commensal in the oral
cavity, gut or genital tract of most individuals, constrained by the local microbiota, epithelial …

The molecular composition of the cell wall is critical for the biology and ecology of each
fungal species. Fungal walls are composed of matrix components that are embedded and …

The release of extracellular vesicles (EV) by fungal organisms is considered an alternative
transport mechanism to trans‐cell wall passage of macromolecules. Previous studies have …

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 …

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

Angioinvasion is a hallmark of mucormycosis. Previously, we identified endothelial cell
glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) as a receptor for Mucorales that mediates host cell …

The cell wall of the human pathogen Candida glabrata governs initial host-pathogen
interactions that underlie the establishment of fungal infections. With the aim of identifying …

Extreme-drug-resistant (XDR) Acinetobacter baumannii is a rapidly emerging pathogen
causing infections with unacceptably high mortality rates due to inadequate available …

Mucormycosis, caused by Rhizopus species, is a life-threatening fungal infection that occurs
in patients immunocompromised by diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), cytotoxic chemotherapy …

Many proteins are transported to the cell surface of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida
albicans to be either integrated into the cell-wall structure or exported to the external …
