Dendritic Cells: Origin, Classification, Development, Biological Functions, and Therapeutic Potential

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2025.
This review systematically summarizes dendritic cells (DCs) originating from hematopoietic stem cells, their major subsets (cDC1s, cDC2s, pDCs, moDCs, LCs) and core functions (antigen capture/presentation, adaptive immunity activation, immune tolerance induction, and regulation of innate immune cells).

What makesCryptococcus gattiia pathogen? [PDF]

FEMS Yeast Research, 2015
Cryptococcosis is an invasive fungal infection of humans and other animals, typically caused by the species Cryptococcus neoformans in patients with impaired immunity. However, there is growing recognition of the importance of the related species C. gattii in causing infections in apparently immunocompetent individuals.

Hydroethanolic Extract of Punica granatum Inhibits Cryptococcus by Depolarising Mitochondrial Membranes

Microbiology Research
Cryptococcal infections are distributed worldwide and mainly caused by Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii. The reduced number of antifungals and increasing number of cases of resistance require the search for new therapeutic options, such as

The Case for Adopting the “Species Complex” Nomenclature for the Etiologic Agents of Cryptococcosis

mSphere, 2017
Cryptococcosis is a potentially lethal disease of humans/animals caused by Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii. Distinction between the two species is based on phenotypic and genotypic characteristics.

Cryptococcus gattii induces a cytokine pattern that is distinct from other cryptococcal species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Understanding more about the host's immune response to different Cryptococcus spp. will provide additional insight into the pathogenesis of cryptocococcis. We hypothesized that the ability of C.

Ecoepidemiology of Cryptococcus gattii in Developing Countries [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2017
Cryptococcosis is a systemic infection caused by species of the encapsulated yeast Cryptococcus. The disease may occur in immunocompromised and immunocompetent hosts and is acquired by the inhalation of infectious propagules present in the environment.

Anti-Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor Autoantibodies Are a Risk Factor for Central Nervous System Infection by Cryptococcus gattii in Otherwise Immunocompetent Patients

mBio, 2014
Cryptococcosis is caused by either Cryptococcus neoformans or C. gattii. While cryptococcal meningoencephalitis is caused mostly by C. neoformans in immunocompromised patients, the risk factors remain unclear for patients with no known immune defect ...

Cryptococcal meningitis due to Cryptococcus neoformans VNI in a koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) with progressive neurological disease

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 8, Page 487-493, August 2025.
Nearly all cases of cryptococcosis in koalas are caused by Cryptococcus gattii species complex. A rare case of meningitis due to Cryptococcus neoformans VNI/AFLP1 (abbreviated VNI) is described in a koala with nasal colonisation by both species complexes.

Virulence of Cryptococcus spp. biofilms in vitro and in vivo using Galleria mellonella as an alternative model.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are fungal pathogens that are most commonly found in infections of the central nervous system, which cause life-threatening meningoencephalitis and can grow as a biofilm.

Pigment production on L-tryptophan medium by Cryptococcus gattii and Cryptococcus neoformans. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
In recent years strains previously grouped within Cryptococcus neoformans have been divided into two species C. neoformans and C. gattii, with Cryptococcus neoformans comprising serotypes A, D, and AD and C.
