A genome-scale screen identifies sulfated glycosaminoglycans as pivotal in epithelial cell damage by Candida albicans

Jianfeng Lin, Jian Miao, Katherine G. Schaefer…·Scott G. Filler

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.
