Trimorphic stepping stones pave the way to fungal virulence [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009 The fungal kingdom encompasses ≈1.5 million species (1) as diverse as single-celled yeasts, pathogens of animals/plants, and plant root symbionts. Fungi are eukaryotic, closely aligned with metazoans (2, 3). Animals and fungi diverged ≈1 billion years ago; their last common ancestor was unicellular, motile, and aquatic.

Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities
Advanced Science, EarlyView.SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction

Surface architecture of Histoplasma capsulatum
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011 The dimorphic fungal pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum is the most frequent cause of clinically significant fungal pneumonia in humans. H. capsulatum virulence is achieved, in part, through diverse and dynamic alterations to the fungal cell surface ...

Nitrogen regulation of virulence in clinically prevalent fungal pathogens [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2013 The habitats of fungal pathogens range from environmental to commensal, and the nutrient content of these different niches varies considerably. Upon infection of humans, nutrient availability changes significantly depending on the site and pathophysiology of infection.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.An intelligent early warning and treatment system for monkeypox, utilizing a sprayable AIEgen‐ liquid dressing (AIE@LD) that responds to lesion pH. Integrated with a smartphone app and cloud platform, it enables real‐time infection detection via fluorescence imaging and triggers on‐demand photodynamic therapy under white light, effectively eradicating ...

The plant-pathogen haustorial interface at a glance [PDF]
, 2020 Many filamentous pathogens invade plant cells through specialized hyphae called haustoria. These infection structures are enveloped by a newly synthesized plant-derived membrane called the extrahaustorial membrane (EHM).

Processing of Candida albicans Ece1p Is Critical for Candidalysin Maturation and Fungal Virulence
mBio, 2018 Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen responsible for superficial and life-threatening infections in humans. During mucosal infection, C. albicans undergoes a morphological transition from yeast to invasive filamentous hyphae that secrete ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.To tackle the alarming mortality rate linked to Candida albicans infections, a synthetic lethal strategy precisely aimed at the two distinct forms of this fungus: yeast and hyphae is formulated. Ultimately, through the innovative use of macrophage membranes for drug delivery, the effectiveness of this strategy is substantially boosted while ...
