A unique cell wall synthetic response evoked by glucosamine determines pathogenicity-associated fungal cellular differentiation.
The yeast-to-hypha transition is tightly associated with pathogenicity in many human pathogenic fungi, such as the model fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans, which is responsible for approximately 180,000 deaths annually. In this pathogen, the yeast-to-hypha transition can be initiated by distin...
