This study investigates the role of Aqp1 in Cryptococcus neoformans cell morphology, finding that its loss leads to smaller cells while overexpression causes enlarged titan-like cells linked to redox physiology and oxidative stress.

This study shows that mitochondrial homeostasis in Cryptococcus neoformans affects metabolic plasticity and virulence through the PKA pathway.

This study shows dietary L-DOPA increases melanization, immunity, and reduces lifespan in Anopheles mosquitoes, while lowering malaria parasite burden.
