Association of the Commensal Fungus Candida albicans in Alzheimer's Disease [PDF]

open access: yes
Candida albicans is a common gastrointestinal (GI) tract commensal fungus in humans, yet under certain circumstances, it will adopt a pathogenic state and promote systemic infection and inflammation. One of the primary virulence factors of C. albicans is

MECHANISTIC INSIGHTS INTO THE ROLES OF IL-22/IL-22RA1 AXIS IN ORAL ANTIFUNGAL IMMUNITY [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC, oral thrush) is an opportunistic infection caused by the commensal fungus Candida albicans. IL-17 and IL-22 are produced by Type 17 lymphocytes.Both cytokines mediate antifungal immunity yet activate quite distinct ...

Modulating the interplay between Candida albicans and the host during commensalism and pathogenicity [PDF]

open access: yes
Candida albicans causes various infections in humans, of which vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a mucosal infection of the vulva and vagina. Most women are diagnosed with VVC at least once during their reproductive years and can also be diagnosed with ...

The role of the C. albicans transcriptional repressor NRG1 during filamentation and disseminated candidiasis is strain dependent

open access: yesmSphere
Candida albicans is one of the most common causes of superficial and invasive fungal diseases in humans. Its ability to cause disease is closely linked to its ability to undergo a morphological transition from budding yeast to filamentous forms (hyphae ...

TREM2 Recognition of Candidalysin Orchestrates Mucosal Immunity in Oropharyngeal Candidiasis

open access: yes
Abstract The landscape of oral mucosal immunity, particularly in the context of oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC), remains largely uncharted. By employing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on murine models of OPC, we have illuminated the immune dynamics within this niche.

Screen for Candida albicans Virulence Factors that Modulate the Host Immune Response in the Larval Zebrafish [PDF]

open access: yes
Candida is one of the most frequent causes of bloodstream infections in the U.S. The first line of defense against these invasive infections is the innate immune system.
