This study identifies Sac1 as a key factor in cryptococcal virulence by linking phosphoinositide turnover to host cell uptake and capsule production through genome-scale screening.

This study identifies Ysp2 as a retrograde sterol transporter in Cryptococcus neoformans, showing its role in ergosterol distribution, cell wall formation, and virulence.

This study shows that a neurogenic hydrogel can regenerate radiation-damaged salivary glands in mice, restoring saliva production over three months.

This paper shows that a synthetic tear protein, lacripep, repairs dry eye by restoring corneal nerves, even in the presence of inflammation.

This paper optimizes Cas9 for Cryptococcus neoformans to enable efficient gene editing with short homology arms.
