This paper identifies a cysteine-rich motif in CnCuf1 essential for high copper stress sensing in Cryptococcus neoformans, impacting fungal virulence and lung infection patterns.

This study shows that combining amphotericin B and flucytosine has synergistic antifungal effects against Talaromyces marneffei in vitro, supporting further clinical testing.

This study links genetic variation in Cryptococcus neoformans to clinical outcomes and virulence in animal models using GWAS and genomic data from 284 isolates.

This study uses population genomics to explore how environmental selective pressures shaped virulence traits in Cryptococcus neoformans, identifying genetic differences between clinical and environmental isolates.
