This paper shows that FloA, a flotillin in Aspergillus nidulans, is required for the internalization of PmaA during calcium stress, preventing calcium overload and promoting cell survival.

This study shows the murine lung microbiome is dynamic and transient, with bacteria rapidly cleared by the immune system and not establishing stable colonization.

This study shows that Aspergillus fumigatus infection in immunosuppressed mice disrupts lung microbiome balance, increasing anaerobic bacteria like Ligilactobacillus murinus, which can be internalized by epithelial cells.
