Journal ArticleDOI

The Fungal Cell Wall: Candida, Cryptococcus, and Aspergillus Species.

TL;DR: Recent data on the composition and synthesis, influence of the components of the cell wall in fungi-host interaction and the role as a target for the next generation of antifungal drugs in yeasts and filamentous fungi are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antifungal Therapy: New Advances in the Understanding and Treatment of Mycosis.

TL;DR: Different approaches to preventing and treating fungal diseases are described in this review, with a focus on the resistance mechanisms of fungi, with the goal of developing efficient strategies to overcoming and preventing resistance as well as new advances in antifungal therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fungal Biofilms and Polymicrobial Diseases

TL;DR: Several in vitro techniques have been developed to study fungal biofilms, from colorimetric methods to omics approaches that aim to identify new therapeutic strategies by developing new compounds to combat these microbial communities as well as new diagnostic tools to identify these complex formations in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cryptococcus neoformans can form titan-like cells in vitro in response to multiple signals

TL;DR: In vitro conditions (low nutrient, serum supplemented medium at neutral pH) that promote the transition from regular to titan-like cells are described, providing a new alternative method to investigate titan cell formation devoid the bioethical problems that involve animal experimentation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paracoccidoides brasiliensis 30 kDa adhesin: identification as a 14-3-3 protein, cloning and subcellular localization in infection models.

TL;DR: Cloned, expressed, and determined the role of the 14-3-3 protein in a heterologous system and its subcellular localization in in vitro and in vivo infection models to lead to a better understanding of P. brasiliensis interactions with host tissues and paracoccidioidomycosis pathogenesis.
