The Fungal and Bacterial Interface in the Respiratory Mycobiome with a Focus on Aspergillus spp.
Life, 2023 The heterogeneity of the lung microbiome and its alteration are prevalently seen among chronic lung diseases patients. However, studies to date have primarily focused on the bacterial microbiome in the lung rather than fungal composition, which might ...

Fungal-mediated lung allergic airway disease: The critical role of macrophages and dendritic cells
PLOS Pathogens, 2022 Fungi are abundant in the environment, causing our lungs to be constantly exposed to a diverse range of species. While the majority of these are cleared effectively in healthy individuals, constant exposure to spores (especiallyAspergillusspp.) can lead to the development of allergic inflammation that underpins and worsen diseases such as asthma ...

Regulation of lung inflammation by adiponectin
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Adiponectin is an insulin sensitizing hormone that also plays a role in the regulation of inflammation. Although adiponectin can exert pro-inflammatory effects, more studies have reported anti-inflammatory effects, even in non-adipose tissues such as the
