DOI: 10.1080/14787210.2023.2207821
Abstract: ABSTRACT Introduction The current armamentarium of antifungal agents for invasive mold infections (IMI) has dramatically improved over the last 50 years. Existing therapies are, however, associated with toxicities, drug interactions, and, in some cases, therapeutic failures.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1147871
Abstract: The immune response to invading pathogens is characterized by the rapid establishment of a complex network of cellular interactions and soluble signals. The correct balancing of activating and regulating pathways and tissue-homing signals determines its… read more here.
