Integrin beta 1 and mannose receptor 2 are involved in the antifungal activity of bronchial epithelial cells through Aspergillus fumigatus lectin FleA interactions

This study identifies ITGB1 and MRC2 as host factors involved in bronchial epithelial cell antifungal activity through interactions with A. fumigatus lectin FleA, revealing two pathways that inhibit fungal filamentation.

The epigenomic landscape of bronchial epithelial cells reveals the establishment of trained immunity

The paper identifies an epigenetic mechanism in bronchial epithelial cells that enables trained immunity through chromatin remodeling and gene expression changes following flagellin exposure.

New insights into the echinocandin resistance in Candida spp. in the clinical setting

The paper investigates echinocandin resistance in Candida species, finding that increased consumption did not lead to significant resistance, but mutations in glucan synthase genes affect fitness differently across species.

Molecular epidemiology of Candida africana isolates collected from vagina swabs in French Guiana.

The paper identifies C. africana in vaginal swabs from French Guiana using PCR and reports a new diploid sequence type.
