Abstract: The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans maintains pathogenic and commensal states primarily through cell wall functions. The echinocandin antifungal drug caspofungin inhibits cell wall synthesis and is widely used in treating disseminated candidiasis. Signaling pathways… read more here.

Abstract: Fungal cell wall receptors relay messages about the state of the cell wall to the nucleus through the Cell Wall Integrity Signaling (CWIS) pathway. The ultimate role of the CWIS pathway is to coordinate repair… read more here.
