Proposed Relationships Between Climate, Biological Soil Crusts, Human Health, and in Arid Ecosystems
GeoHealth, Volume 9, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Biological soil crusts (or biocrust) are diminutive soil communities with ecological functions disproportionate to their size. These communities are composed of lichens, bryophytes, cyanobacteria, fungi, liverworts, and other microorganisms.

The Significance of Mono‐ and Dual‐Effective Agents in the Development of New Antifungal Strategies
Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 105, Issue 1, January 2025.The future of treating challenging fungal infections lies in novel therapies targeting new antifungal targets, overcoming resistance mechanisms, and exploring innovative dual inhibitors. ABSTRACT Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) pose significant challenges in clinical settings, particularly due to their high morbidity and mortality rates.

Imported Systemic Endemic Mycoses in Spain 1997–2021: An Analysis of a National Hospital Database
Mycoses, Volume 68, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT Background Systemic endemic mycoses are systemic fungal infections typically found in tropical and subtropical regions. Their global incidence is rising, including in nonendemic countries, mainly due to migration and international travel. They are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in immunocompromised patients ...

POPULATION GENETICS AND GENOMICS OF COCCIDIOIDES IMMITIS AND COCCIDIOIDES POSADASII
, 2009 The goal of my dissertation research is to elucidate the population structure of two understudied but increasingly important fungal pathogens of humans. Coccidioides immitis and C. posadasii cause the disease coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever).

Molecular and functional in vivo characterisation of murine Dectin‐1 isoforms
European Journal of Immunology, Volume 54, Issue 11, November 2024.Dectin‐1 is a C‐type lectin receptor for the innate sensing of fungi. This receptor exists in two major isoforms in mice differing in a stalk domain, which determines their degradative pathway. Here, we characterise the properties of the two isoforms in a cellular context and using a newly established in vivo model. Abstract Dectin‐1 is a C‐type lectin‐
