IL-17 Receptor Signaling in Oral Epithelial Cells Is Critical for Protection against Oropharyngeal Candidiasis [PDF]
Signaling through the IL-17 receptor (IL-17R) is required to prevent oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC) in mice and humans. However, the IL-17-responsive cell type(s) that mediate protection are unknown.

The cell biology of the Trichosporon-Host interaction [PDF]
Fungi of the genus Trichosporon are increasingly recognized as causative agents of superficial and invasive fungal disease in humans. Although most species are considered commensals of the human skin and gastrointestinal tract, these basidiomycetes are ...

Dynamic expression of candidalysin facilitates oral colonization of Candida albicans in mice. [PDF]
Abstract Candida albicans is a common fungal member of the human microbiota but can also cause infections via expression of virulence factors associated with the yeast-to-hyphae transition. The evolutionary selection pressure to retain these pathogenic traits for a commensal microorganism remains unclear.

Candida albicans Enhances Protease Activity and Activates MyD88-Dependent IL-1β Production in Human Keratinocytes. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic skin disorder characterised by a highly inflamed local environment and elevated epidermal proteolytic activity. Changes in the skin mycobiome have been observed in this disease, specifically Candida albicans colonization positively correlating with AD severity, yet the mechanisms by which ...
