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 Role of Host and Fungal Factors in the Commensal-to-Pathogen Transition of Candida albicans [PDF]
Purpose of Review The fungus Candida albicans has evolved to live in close association with warm-blooded hosts and is found frequently on mucosal surfaces of healthy humans. As an opportunistic pathogen, C.

Ahr1-dependent regulation of ECE1 and other core filamentation response genes in Candida albicans [PDF]
Candida albicans is a normally harmless commensal fungus and part of the human microbiota. However, in immunocompromised patients, C. albicans can cause diseases ranging from superficial infections to life threatening systemic infections.

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 ...
