The transcriptional response in mosquitoes distinguishes between fungi and bacteria but not Gram types

B. Hixson, L. Huot, B. Morejon, X. Yang, P. Nagy, K. Michel, N. Buchon

This study compares the transcriptional responses of mosquitoes to different pathogens and finds that they distinguish between fungi and bacteria but not Gram types.

Dectin-1 Molecular Aggregation and Signaling is Sensitive to β-Glucan Structure and Glucan Exposure on Candida albicans Cell Walls

E. U. Anaya, A. Etemadi Amin, M. J. Wester, M. Danielson, K. Michel, A. K. Neumann

This study shows that Dectin-1A signaling and molecular aggregation depend on β-glucan structure and exposure, with higher structured glucans inducing more receptor dimerization and signaling.
