Cryptococcus displays spore-specific invasion of alveolar epithelial cells

S. C. Ortiz, R. Fortune-Grant, A. J. Thom, J. Davies, R. C. May, R. A. Drummond, M. Bertuzzi

This study shows Cryptococcus spores invade alveolar epithelial cells in vitro and in vivo, suggesting these cells may serve as an intracellular niche for dissemination and latency.

CSF1R inhibition by PLX5622 reduces pulmonary fungal infection by depleting MHCIIhi interstitial lung macrophages

S. H. Mohamed, E. Vonhoffelen, M. S. Fu, E. Cosway, G. Anderson, G. Vande Velde, R. A. Drummond

PLX5622 reduces pulmonary fungal infection by depleting MHCIIhi interstitial lung macrophages, which are key infection reservoirs for Cryptococcus neoformans.

Microglia protect fungi against copper starvation and promote brain infection

S. H. Mohamed, M. S. Fu, S. Hain, A. Alselami, E. Vanhoffelen, Y. Li, E. Bojang, R. Lukande, E. R. Ballou, R. C. May, C. Ding, G. Vande Velde, R. A. Drummond

This study shows microglia support cryptococcal brain infections by hosting fungal growth and facilitating copper acquisition, and demonstrates that IFNγ can block this process.
