Re-direction of phagosomes to the recycling expulsion pathway by a fungal pathogen

L. Jia, M. Rafiq, L. Radosa, P. Hortschansky, C. A. Cunha, Z. Cseresnyes, T. Krueger, F. Schmidt, T. Heinekamp, M. Strassburger, B. Loeffler, T. Doenst, J. F. Lacerda, A. Campos, M. T. Figge, , A. A. Brakhage

This study identifies HscA as an effector protein from Aspergillus fumigatus that redirects phagosomes to the recycling expulsion pathway by anchoring p11, affecting susceptibility to invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.

PLB-985 neutrophil-like cells as a model to study Aspergillus fumigatus pathogenesis

M. Rafiq, F. Rivieccio, A.-K. Zimmermann, C. Visser, A. Bruch, T. Krüger, K. Gonzalez Rojas, O. Kniemeyer, M. G. Blango, A. A. Brakhage

This paper demonstrates that differentiated PLB-985 cells can model key aspects of A. fumigatus interactions with human neutrophils, including phagocytosis, extracellular trap release, and antifungal vesicle production.
