Highlights•The cell biology of Candida albicans is adapted both for life as a commensal and
as a pathogen.•C. albicans can either downregulate or upregulate virulence properties in …

Successful human colonizers such as Candida pathogens have evolved distinct strategies
to survive and proliferate within the human host. These include sophisticated mechanisms to …

To colonise their host, pathogens must counter local environmental and immunological
challenges. Here, we reveal that the fungal pathogen Candida albicans exploits diverse host …

The ability of pathogenic microorganisms to assimilate sufficient nutrients for growth within
their hosts is a fundamental requirement for pathogenicity. However, certain trace nutrients …

Most fungal pathogens of humans display robust protective oxidative stress responses that
contribute to their pathogenicity. The induction of enzymes that detoxify reactive oxygen …

Candida albicans is a major fungal opportunistic pathogen for humans. In the treatment of C.
albicans, azole drugs target the sterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51) encoded by ERG11 gene …

Electroporation is a phenomenon occurring due to exposure of cells to Pulsed Electric Fields
(PEF) which leads to increase of membrane permeability. Electroporation is used in …

A critical feature of the cellular antioxidant response is the induction of gene expression by
redox-sensitive transcription factors. In many cells, activating these transcription factors is a …

When photons transport inside the biological samples, the interaction between photons and
biological analytes enable us to map a specific diagnostic biomarker for disease. However …

The advancement of medicine such as organ transplant, medical devices implantation, wide
distribution of corticosteroids and antimicrobial drugs does not only result in greater …
