This paper identifies Pef1 as a fungal protein that localizes to sites of membrane disruption in Candida albicans to maintain membrane integrity and support polarized growth.

This study profiles gene expression in Candida auris infections using a fish model, identifying clade-specific filamentation and upregulation of xenosiderophore transporter genes.

The paper uses Deep Visual Proteomics to show that human colon organoids switch to an in vivo-like phenotype after xenotransplantation.

This study introduces the thermotolerant Arabian killifish as a new model to assess C. albicans virulence at human-relevant temperatures, showing temperature-dependent virulence and drug response.
