Elucidation of the Role of 3-Hydroxy Fatty Acids in Cryptococcus-amoeba Interactions

We previously reported that 3-hydroxy fatty acids promoted the survival of cryptococcal cells when acted upon by amoebae. To expand on this, the current study sought to explain how these molecules may protect cells. Our data suggest that 3-hydroxy fatty acids may subvert the internalization of crypt...
