Coregulation of extracellular vesicle production and fluconazole susceptibility in Cryptococcus neoformans

This study identifies regulators of extracellular vesicle production in Cryptococcus neoformans and links EV production to fluconazole resistance.

Melanization of Candida auris is Associated with Alteration of Extracellular pH

This study identifies a novel mechanism of melanization in C. auris through extracellular alkalinization promoting non-enzymatic oxidation of L-DOPA to melanin.

Extracellular vesicle formation in Cryptococcus deuterogattii impacts fungal virulence and requires the NOP16 gene

This study shows that NOP16 is required for extracellular vesicle formation in Cryptococcus deuterogattii, and EV composition affects fungal virulence.

Paving the way towards understanding the inflammatory pathways triggered by giant viruses in mammalian cells: effect of mimivirus-cell interactions on IκBα degradation

This study investigates how APMV and Tupanvirus interact with mammalian cells, activating TLR4 and triggering inflammatory responses, including IκBα degradation.

Extracellular vesicles regulate yeast growth, biofilm formation, and yeast-to-hypha differentiation in Candida albicans

This study shows that extracellular vesicles from Candida albicans inhibit biofilm formation, yeast-to-hypha differentiation, and virulence by altering gene expression and morphology.

Small molecule analysis of extracellular vesicles produced by Cryptococcus gattii: identification of a tripeptide controlling cryptococcal infection in an invertebrate host model

This study identifies a tripeptide in Cryptococcus gattii extracellular vesicles that enhances survival in an invertebrate infection model.

Comparative molecular and immunoregulatory analysis of extracellular vesicles from Candida albicans and Candida auris.

This study compares extracellular vesicles from Candida auris and Candida albicans, finding distinct molecular profiles and immune-modulating properties that may contribute to C. auris pathogenesis.

Characterization of extracellular vesicles produced by Aspergillus fumigatus protoplasts

This study characterizes extracellular vesicles from Aspergillus fumigatus protoplasts, showing they are produced across morphological stages and contain proteins and glycans related to metabolism and pathogenesis.

A novel protocol for the isolation of fungal extracellular vesicles reveals the participation of a putative scramblase in polysaccharide export and capsule construction in Cryptococcus gattii.

This paper introduces a novel protocol for isolating fungal extracellular vesicles and identifies a scramblase involved in polysaccharide export and capsule formation in Cryptococcus gattii.

Candida auris: multi-omics signature of an emerging and multidrug-resistant pathogen

This paper compares multi-omics profiles of two Candida auris isolates and a Candida albicans reference strain to understand drug resistance and virulence mechanisms.
