This study shows that fungal-induced immunosurveillance remodels the oral mucosal barrier via a non-canonical IL-22 receptor complex, enhancing resistance to Candida albicans colonization.

This study shows that the commensal fungus Candida albicans enhances Salmonella Typhimurium virulence by promoting arginine production, which in turn boosts Salmonella's ability to invade host cells and dampens the host's inflammatory response.

This study identifies sulfated glycosaminoglycans as targets of candidalysin, a virulence factor in C. albicans, and shows that blocking these interactions can protect epithelial cells from fungal damage.

This study identifies ZCF13 in Candida albicans as a regulator of ribose metabolism that enhances synergistic virulence with Staphylococcus aureus during intra-abdominal infection.

This study shows that aripiprazole, an atypical antipsychotic, worsens outcomes of disseminated Candida albicans infections in mice but has minimal effects on fungal growth or gene expression.
