TL;DR: Two compounds found were highly effective in vitro and in vivo against several pathogenic fungi and were well tolerated by animals and additive to current antifungals, suggesting that these drugs might pave the way for the development of a new class of antIFungals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma membrane lipids and their role in fungal virulence
TL;DR: Insight into the role of lipids in fungal virulence can lead to an improved understanding of the process of fungal pathogenesis and the development of new lipid-mediated therapeutic strategies.
Journal Article
Recent Advances in High Cell Density Cultivation for Production of Recombinant Protein
TL;DR: Information on physiological changes of hosts during different phases of cultivation derived from functional genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics is being used to overcome the obstacles encountered in high cell density cultivation and hence increase productivity.

TL;DR: A key role for GXM and SGs in inducing protection against a secondary cryptococcal infection is highlighted, and the potential use of Δsgl1 EVs as a vaccination strategy for cryptococcosis is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging investigator series: interactions of engineered nanomaterials with the cell plasma membrane; what have we learned from membrane models?
TL;DR: Various membrane models used to study nanoparticle interactions with the cell plasma membrane are used.
