This study examines the structural role of chitosan in Cryptococcus cell walls, revealing species-specific remodeling effects when chitosan is absent.

This study shows caspofungin accumulates in Cryptococcus mitochondria via cardiolipin binding, reducing its effectiveness and linking to cardiotoxicity in human cells.

This study identifies two mechanisms that bypass calcineurin function in Cryptococcus deneoformans during high-temperature growth, revealing its role in cytokinesis under thermal stress.

This paper identifies CD4+ T cells and their cytokines IFNγ, TNF, and IL-23 as critical for vaccine-mediated protection against Cryptococcus neoformans, with protection retained after vaccination even with CD4+ T cell depletion.
