Biomolecular Corona Remodelling of Aspergillus fumigatus Extracellular Vesicles Shapes Immune Recognition and Macrophage Activation Programs

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by Aspergillus fumigatus play key roles in fungal–host communication. Similar to synthetic nanoparticles, fungal EVs acquire a biomolecular corona composed of a tightly bound “hard” corona layer of fungal proteins and a dynamic “soft” layer of host‐derived molecules adsorbed upon contact with biological ...

The taxonomy of two uncultivated fungal mammalian pathogens is revealed through phylogeny and population genetic analyses

Scientific Reports, 2021
Ever since the uncultivated South American fungal pathogen Lacazia loboi was first described 90 years ago, its etiology and evolutionary traits have been at the center of endless controversies.

The Hemoprotein Hhy1 Promotes Heme‐Dependent Catalase Activity of Ctt1

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 125, Issue 5, Page 389-411, May 2026.
A Schizosaccharomyces pombe strain deficient in heme (hem1Δ) and siderophore (Fc) biosynthesis, as well as high‐affinity iron (Fe) uptake (blue), was used to uncover the hemoprotein Hhy1 that promotes the heme‐dependent activity of the catalase Ctt1. In contrast, hhy1Δ cells exhibit reduced Ctt1 activity and increased sensitivity to oxidative stress ...

Helminths as architects of trained tolerance: implications for human health

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 15, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Helminths infect nearly 2 billion people worldwide and are a major cause of chronic morbidity in low‐resource regions. Unlike bacterial and viral pathogens that elicit protective memory, helminths actively remodel host immunity to enable their years‐long persistence and reinfection.

Importance of adhesins in virulence of Paracoccidioides spp.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Members of the Paracoccidioides genus are dimorphic fungi that are the etiologic agents of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). This genus is composed of two species: Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Paracoccidioides lutzii.

The Emerging Role of Microbial Extracellular Vesicles in Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration

Medicine Bulletin, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 231-238, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders are increasingly viewed as systemic conditions shaped by interactions among peripheral immunity, microbiota, and the central nervous system. However, the mechanisms linking microbial activity to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration remain poorly defined.

Validation and clinical application of a nested PCR for paracoccidioidomycosis diagnosis in clinical samples from Colombian patients

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015
Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic and endemic mycosis, restricted to tropical and subtropical areas of Latin America. The infection is caused by the thermal dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Paracoccidioides lutzii.

Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 499-515, March 2026.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis: phylogenetic and ecological aspects [PDF]

Mycopathologia, 2008
The knowledge on the biological aspects of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis has evolved greatly since the first description of the disease in 1908. From the pioneers, who were able to clearly demonstrate the fungal nature of the agent, to the recent genomic era, important advances have been achieved. P.
