The paper identifies a long non-coding RNA, afu-182, that regulates azole antifungal susceptibility in Aspergillus fumigatus both in vitro and in vivo.

The paper identifies afu-254, a long non-coding RNA in Aspergillus fumigatus, as critical for stress responses and virulence, with specific roles in azole susceptibility and immune evasion.

The paper shows that thermal adaptation in Aspergillus fumigatus affects azole drug response via lncRNA afu-182, with lower RNA levels at higher temperatures linked to worse disease outcomes.
