This study shows that M-CSF enhances alveolar macrophage function to protect against invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised mice.

The paper identifies ergosterol depletion in Nakaseomyces glabratus as a mechanism for amphotericin B resistance without fitness or virulence defects.

The paper analyzes genomic data from 250 Aspergillus flavus isolates to show that pathogenicity is strongly linked to population structure, with population D containing most clinical isolates and harboring genes related to zinc ion binding and lipid metabolism.

This study investigates how HCMV and its virokine CMVIL-10 modulate dendritic cell responses during co-infection with A. fumigatus, revealing that CMVIL-10 has a limited role in suppressing antifungal immunity.

This paper identifies alligamycin A, a novel antifungal compound from Streptomyces iranensis, and demonstrates its potent antifungal activity against clinically relevant fungi.

This study compares genomes of clinically relevant Fusarium solani species complex members to reveal extensive gene and non-coding RNA variation, secondary metabolism diversity, and horizontal gene transfer patterns.

DAnIEL provides a web server for analyzing fungal ITS amplicon sequencing data, offering data processing, statistical analysis, and comparison with public datasets.

This study traces the global emergence and evolutionary history of Candida auris using population genomic analyses of isolates from 19 countries, identifying clades, phylogeographic patterns, and antifungal resistance mechanisms.
