DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2021.109406
Abstract: SUMMARY Adaptation to changing environments and immune evasion is pivotal for fitness of pathogens. Yet, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Adaptation is governed by dynamic transcriptional re-programming, which is tightly connected to chromatin architecture.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/21505594.2020.1731126
Abstract: ABSTRACT A diverse family of metalloproteases (MPs) is distributed in eukaryotes. However, the functions of MPs are still understudied. We report that seven MPs belonging to the M35 family are encoded in the genome of… read more here.

Metals in fungal virulence
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "FEMS Microbiology Reviews"
DOI: 10.1093/femsre/fux050
Abstract: Abstract Metals are essential for life, and they play a central role in the struggle between infecting microbes and their hosts. In fact, an important aspect of microbial pathogenesis is the ‘nutritional immunity’, in which… read more here.

Autophagy Regulates Fungal Virulence and Sexual Reproduction in Cryptococcus neoformans
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology"
DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2020.00374
Abstract: Autophagy (macroautophagy) is an evolutionarily conserved degradation pathway involved in bulk degradation of cytoplasmic organelles, old protein, and other macromolecules and nutrient recycling during starvation. Extensive studies on functions of autophagy-related genes have revealed that… read more here.
