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 …

Whereas extracellular vesicle (EV) research has become commonplace in different
biomedical fields, this field of research is still in its infancy in mycology. Here we provide a …

Few fungi are pathogenic to humans. Of these, Cryptococcus neoformans has emerged as
an important cause of mortality in immunocompromised patients, especially those with AIDS …

Covalently linked cell wall proteins (CWPs) of the dimorphic fungus Candida albicans are
implicated in virulence. We have carried out a comprehensive proteomic analysis of the …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a prevalent human fungal pathogen that must survive within
various tissues in order to establish a human infection. We have identified the C …

Cryptococcus is a unique environmental fungus. Among the more than three dozen species
of Cryptococcus, only C. neoformans and C. gattii commonly cause disease. Although many …

Invasive fungal infections are emerging diseases that kill over 1.5 million people per year
worldwide. With the increase of immunocompromised populations, the incidence of invasive …

Chitin and chitosan are two related polysaccharides that provide important structural stability
to fungal cell walls. Often embedded deeply within the cell wall structure, these molecules …

Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are the cause of life-threatening
meningoencephalitis in immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals …
