Convergent evolution of a fungal effector enabling phagosome membrane penetration
The ability of pathogens to evade phagosomal killing is critical for their pathogenicity. Previously, we had identified the HscA effector protein in the clinically important fungal pathogen Aspergillu...

Last year, our first review article on how fungal pathogens manipulate host cell phagocytosis was published in Nature Microbiology rdcu.be/ecNgW.
Manipulation of host phagocytosis by fungal pathogens and therapeutic opportunities
Nature Microbiology - In this Review, the authors discuss fungal pathogen–host interactions with a focus on phagocytosis and intracellular processing of pathogens within phagosomes. They also...
