Pathogenic fungi have emerged as significant causes of infectious morbidity and death in
patients with acquired immunodeficiency conditions such as HIV/AIDS and following receipt …

Aspergillus fumigatus is a saprotrophic fungus; its primary habitat is the soil. In its ecological
niche, the fungus has learned how to adapt and proliferate in hostile environments. This …

Autophagy is central to the maintenance of organismal homeostasis in both physiological
and pathological situations. Accordingly, alterations in autophagy have been linked to …

Aspergillus fumigatus is an environmental filamentous fungus that can cause life-threatening
disease in immunocompromised individuals. The interactions between A. fumigatus and the …

Autophagy has broad functions in immunity, ranging from cell-autonomous defence to
coordination of complex multicellular immune responses. The successful resolution of …

The cellular degradative pathway of autophagy has a fundamental role in immunity. Here,
we review the function of autophagy and autophagy proteins in inflammation. We discuss …

Non-canonical autophagy is a key cellular pathway in immunity, cancer, and
neurodegeneration, characterized by conjugation of ATG8 to endolysosomal single …

Respiratory fungal infection is a severe clinical problem, especially in patients with
compromised immune functions. Aspergillus, Cryptococcus, Pneumocystis, and endemic …

More than 90% of the cell wall of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus comprises
polysaccharides. Biosynthesis of the cell wall polysaccharides is under the control of three …

Resistance to infection is critically dependent on the ability of pattern recognition receptors
to recognize microbial invasion and induce protective immune responses. One such family …
