Fungal immunomodulatory proteins in the context of biomedicine
Fungi represent a large group of biodiverse microorganisms with potential applications ranging from industrial fields to the treatment for human diseases. A large number of pharmacologically active compounds including terpenoids, polysaccharides and proteins have been derived from these microorganisms.

From secretome analysis to immunology: chitosan induces major alterations in the activation of dendritic cells via a TLR4-dependent mechanism [PDF]
Dendritic cells are known to be activated by a wide range of microbial products, leading to cytokine production and increased levels of membrane markers such as major histocompatibility complex class II molecules. Such activated dendritic cells possess the capacity to activate na\"ive T cells.

Computational Prediction of Effector Proteins in Fungi: Opportunities and Challenges
Effector proteins are mostly secretory proteins that stimulate plant infection by manipulating the host response. Identifying fungal effector proteins and understanding their function is of great importance in efforts to curb losses to plant diseases ...

Bioconversion of hemicelluloses into fungal protein
The utilization of cellulose from one ton of lignocellulose for ethanol production would yield 150–250 kg of hemicelluloses. The total soluble solids in the hemicellulose fraction (HF) obtained with the Universite de Sherbrooke (UdeS) process contained about 56% carbohydrates. These carbohydrates were present in the form of oligomers of various sugars,

Biotechnological Production of Inducible Defense-Related Proteins in Edible Radish (Raphanus Sativus) Found in Nepal [PDF]
Background: Fungal infection in plant leads to use of many hazardous antifungal chemicals. Alternative to these chemicals, defense related antifungal proteins can be used in case of fungal diseases.

101 Dothideomycetes genomes: A test case for predicting lifestyles and emergence of pathogens. [PDF]
Dothideomycetes is the largest class of kingdom Fungi and comprises an incredible diversity of lifestyles, many of which have evolved multiple times. Plant pathogens represent a major ecological niche of the class Dothideomycetes and they are known to ...

Fungal heat-shock proteins in human disease [PDF]
Heat-shock proteins (hsps) have been identified as molecular chaperones conserved between microbes and man and grouped by their molecular mass and high degree of amino acid homology. This article reviews the major hsps of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, their interactions with trehalose, the effect of fermentation and the role of the heat-shock factor ...
