New publication with the Huttenlocher Lab! Led by PhD candidate Nayanna Mercado Soto, we used zebrafish to study burn wound infections with Candida albicans & Aspergillus fumigatus, showing the innate immune response is highly conserved across fungal species. #fungi journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
Larval zebrafish burn wound infection model reveals conserved innate immune responses against diverse pathogenic fungi | mBio
Secondary fungal infections within burn wound injuries are a significant problem that
delays wound healing and increases the risk of patient mortality. Currently, little
is known about how fungi colon...
