This study shows that PCN overexpression increases virulence and antifungal susceptibility in P. brasiliensis, while silencing reduces virulence and increases resistance.

This paper shows that Toxoplasma gondii microneme proteins MIC1 and MIC4 bind TLR2 and TLR4 N-glycans to activate innate immune responses and regulate infection outcomes.

This study shows Galectin-3 inhibits Paracoccidioides brasiliensis growth and affects extracellular vesicle stability, suggesting a direct antimicrobial role in paracoccidioidomycosis.

This study overexpresses paracoccin (PCN) in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and finds that increased PCN levels enhance chitin hydrolysis, leading to smaller chitin particles that modulate host immune responses and increase fungal virulence.
