Skin innate immune response against fungal infections and the potential role of trained immunity

Mycoses, Volume 67, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Fungal skin infections are distributed worldwide and can be associated with economic and social traits. The immune response related to skin cells is complex and its understanding is essential to the comprehension of each cell's role and the discovery of treatment alternatives. The first studies of trained immunity (TI) described the ability of
