Arp2/3 complex contributes to the actin-dependent uptake of Aspergillus terreus conidia by alveolar epithelial cells

Natalia Schiefermeier-Mach, Julien Polleux, Lea Heinrich, Lukas Lechner, Iryna Levytska, Cornelia Lass‐Flörl, Susanne Perkhofer

This study shows that the Arp2/3 complex is essential for actin-dependent uptake of Aspergillus terreus conidia by alveolar epithelial cells, revealing a key role in early host-pathogen interactions.
