Innate Defense against Fungal Pathogens [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2014
Human fungal infections have been on the rise in recent years and proved increasingly difficult to treat as a result of the lack of diagnostics, effective antifungal therapies, and vaccines. Most pathogenic fungi do not cause disease unless there is a disturbance in immune homeostasis, which can be caused by modern medical interventions, disease ...

Phylogenetic congruence between subtropical trees and their associated fungi. [PDF]

, 2016
Recent studies have detected phylogenetic signals in pathogen-host networks for both soil-borne and leaf-infecting fungi, suggesting that pathogenic fungi may track or coevolve with their preferred hosts.

Lack of phenotypic and evolutionary cross-resistance against parasitoids and pathogens in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]

, 2012
BackgroundWhen organisms are attacked by multiple natural enemies, the evolution of a resistance mechanism to one natural enemy will be influenced by the degree of cross-resistance to another natural enemy.

Climate-Fungal Pathogen Modeling Predicts Loss of Up to One-Third of Tea Growing Areas

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Climate change will affect numerous crops in the future; however, perennial crops, such as tea, are particularly vulnerable. Climate change will also strongly influence fungal pathogens. Here, we predict how future climatic conditions will impact tea and

Biphasic Regulation of Epithelial Antimicrobial Peptides During Candida albicans Vaginal Infection: Distinct Contributions of NLRP3/IL-1β and IL-17RA Pathways to β-Defensin-1 and -3 Expression

Journal of Fungi
Candida albicans is the primary agent of acute vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and its recurrent form (RVVC). Local innate immunity contributes to both defense and pathogenesis during vaginal Candida infection, where epithelial β-defensins (BD) constitute

Fungal Pathogens: Shape-Shifting Invaders [PDF]

Trends in Microbiology, 2020
Fungal infections are on the rise due to new medical procedures that have increased the number of immune compromised patients, antibacterial antibiotics that disrupt the microbiome, and increased use of indwelling medical devices that provide sites for biofilm formation.

Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Inebilizumab Versus Rituximab in AQP4‐IgG‐Positive NMOSD

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Rituximab (anti‐CD20, RTX) and inebilizumab (anti‐CD19, INE) represent B‐cell‐depleting therapies used for aquaporin‐4 antibody‐positive (AQP4‐IgG+) neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD); however, direct comparative evidence remains limited.

Recent trends in molecular diagnostics of yeast infections : from PCR to NGS [PDF]

, 2019
The incidence of opportunistic yeast infections in humans has been increasing over recent years. These infections are difficult to treat and diagnose, in part due to the large number and broad diversity of species that can underlie the infection.

CAR T‐Cell Therapy in Neurology: A Scoping Review of Neuro‐Oncology, Autoimmune Diseases & Neurotoxicity

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T‐cell therapy has been investigated in neurological diseases, encompassing both central nervous system malignancies and autoimmune disorders, thereby extending its application beyond hematological cancers.
