The cyclin Cln1 controls polyploid titan cell formation following a stress-induced G2 arrest in Cryptococcus

S. Altamirano, Z. Li, M. S. Fu, M. Ding, S. R. Fulton, J. M. Yoder, V. Tran, K. Nielsen

This study identifies Cln1 as a regulator of G2 arrest and titan cell formation in Cryptococcus neoformans under stress conditions.

Closely related Cryptococcus neoformans strains possess differential virulence both in humans and the mouse inhalation model

L. Mukaremera, T. R. McDonald, J. N. Nielsen, A. Akampulira, C. Schutz, K. Tazeera, C. Muzoora, G. A. Meintjes, D. B. Meya, D. Boulware, K. Nielsen

This study shows that closely related Cryptococcus neoformans strains have different virulence in humans and mice, with mortality linked to antigen levels, fungal burden, and clearance, not genotype or single virulence factors.
