Hydrogel Confinement Strategies for 3D Cell Culture in Microfluidic Systems
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Hydrogel confinement structures are key to organizing 3D cell cultures in microfluidic devices. This review classifies five structural strategies (micropillar, phaseguide, porous membrane, stepped‐height, and support‐free) and examines their trade‐offs alongside fabrication methods.

Phenotypic Switching of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii [PDF]
Mycopathologia, 2008 Microorganisms that live in fluctuating environments must constantly adapt their behavior to survive. The host constitutes an important microenvironment in opportunistic and primary fungal pathogens like Cryptococcus neoformans (C. neoformans) and Cryptococcus gattii (C. gattii).

A Genomic Catalog of Migratory Microbiomes from Wild Birds across China's Habitats
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Migratory birds play an important role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR); however, gaps in surveillance data from vital regions along migratory flyways across China limit the detection of emergent threats. Here, we assembled 340 metagenomes from 52 bird species covering 11 provincial administrative districts in China, presenting ...

Creatinine metabolism in Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus bacillisporus [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1980 The pathogenic species of Cryptococcus, C. neoformans and C. bacillisporus, utilized creatinine as a source of nitrogen but not of carbon. Chromatographic and autoradiographic studies suggest that creatinine metabolism in both species involves a single step resulting in the production of methylhydantoin and ammonia. The enzyme responsible for this step,

Diagnostic and mortality outcomes in a cohort of adult meningitis suspects in KwaZulu-Natal
Southern African Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2018 Background: The clinical value of lumbar puncture (LP) in settings with a high human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence has not been well defined. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review in 394 adults undergoing LP at a single regional ...

The power of many: when genetics met yeasts and high‐throughput
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In recent years, complex technological capabilities have evolved, driven by the need to solve complex and integrative biological questions through global analyses. New equipment allows the scaling up and automation of processes which previously were carried out on a very limited scale.

Cryptococcus–Epithelial Interactions [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2017 The fungal pathogen, Cryptococcus neoformans, causes devastating levels of morbidity and mortality. Infections with this fungus tend to be predominantly in immunocompromised individuals, such as those with HIV. Infections initiate with inhalation of cryptococcal cells and entry of the pathogen into the lungs. The bronchial epithelial cells of the upper

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection MicrobiologyBackgroundCytokines in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are critical to the pathogenesis of HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis (HCM). Previous studies focused on baseline cytokine levels, but changes during antifungal therapy are underexplored.
