Immunotherapy of invasive fungal infection in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Despite the availability of new antifungal compounds, invasive fungal infection remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children and adults undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Allogeneic HSCT recipients

The MMP‐9/TIMP‐1 Ratio and Concentrations of Osteopontin Are Elevated in Cerebrospinal Fluid of People With Multiple Sclerosis and Decrease After Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the utility of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers—matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases‐1 (TIMP‐1), the MMP‐9/TIMP‐1 ratio, and osteopontin (OPN)—as indicators of blood–brain barrier (BBB) integrity and disease activity in people with relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis (pwMS ...

Homeostatic control of an iron repressor in a GI tract resident

open access: yeseLife, 2023
The transition metal iron plays a crucial role in living cells. However, high levels of iron are potentially toxic through the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), serving as a deterrent to the commensal fungus Candida albicans for colonization ...

Epizootiology of the Fungal Pathogen, \u3ci\u3eZoophthora Phytonomi\u3c/i\u3e (Zygomycetes: Entomophthorales) in Field Populations of Alfalfa Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Larvae in Illinois [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The influence of the fungal pathogen, Zoophthora phytonomi, on larvae of the alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica, was studied in three alfalfa fields in Illinois. Disease epizootics occurred in all three fields and disease onset was ob- served within a fairly

A Nonredundant Phosphopantetheinyl Transferase, PptA, Is a Novel Antifungal Target That Directs Secondary Metabolite, Siderophore, and Lysine Biosynthesis in Aspergillus fumigatus and Is Critical for Pathogenicity

open access: yesmBio, 2017
Secondary metabolites are key mediators of virulence for many pathogens. Aspergillus fumigatus produces a vast array of these bioactive molecules, the biosynthesis of which is catalyzed by nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) or polyketide synthases (

Fungal Infections

open access: yesProceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 1992
Increased travel and outdoor leisure activities place the elderly individual at risk for infection with the endemic mycoses, histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, coccidioidomycoses, and sporotrichosis. Elderly patients who are immunosuppressed are at risk for infection with the opportunistic fungi such as Candida and Aspergillus.

Fungal skin infections. [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Disease in Childhood, 1989
The dermatophyte or ringworm infections are confined to stratum corneum or keratinised structures derived from epidermis, such as nail or hair, and these superficial infections are considered in this chapter. The natural course of infection is variable and in many instances spontaneous remission occurs.

Host‐Directed Biomaterials for Combatting Bloodstream Infections: From Macrocyclic Peptides to Immune‐Activating Cell Backpacks

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bloodstream infections (BSI) are one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in both civilian and military populations. This paper summarizes recent progress in novel treatment strategies to manage BSI arising from both bacterial and fungal pathogens using molecules, particles, and materials to elicit host‐directed immunity.

Cell Wall Composition Heterogeneity between Single Cells in Aspergillus fumigatus Leads to Heterogeneous Behavior during Antifungal Treatment and Phagocytosis

open access: yesmBio, 2020
Aspergillus fumigatus can cause a variety of lung diseases in immunocompromised patients, including life-threatening invasive aspergillosis. There are only three main classes of antifungal drugs currently used to treat aspergillosis, and antifungal ...
