Ex-chitin-g news on drug-induced fungal epitope unmasking
ABSTRACT The microbial cell wall is an essential cellular organelle commonly targeted by antimicrobials. It is also a battleground of innate immune recognition where microbes can evade immune recognition by masking essential cell wall components. A recent study (A. S. Wagner, S. W. Lumsdaine, M. M....
