A drug-sensitive genetic network masks fungi from the immune system. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2006 Fungal pathogens can be recognized by the immune system via their beta-glucan, a potent proinflammatory molecule that is present at high levels but is predominantly buried beneath a mannoprotein coat and invisible to the host.
