This study compares gene expression dynamics during in vitro and in vivo filamentation in Candida albicans, finding prolonged gene expression and adaptation in vivo.

This paper identifies a rare, dominant SNP in the Rob1 transcription factor of C. albicans strain SC5314 that enhances biofilm formation and filamentation, contributing to its distinct phenotypic traits.

This study compares C. albicans gene expression in oral and kidney infections, finding it is iron-replete in oral tissue but iron-starved in the kidney, suggesting exemption from iron-based nutritional immunity in oral infections.

The paper uses intravital imaging to screen transcription factor mutants in C. albicans, identifying key regulators of filamentation during mammalian infection and revealing new insights into Efg1's function.

This study shows that the cAMP-PKA pathway is not required for C. albicans filamentation in vivo, despite being essential in vitro.

The paper identifies a transcription factor circuit regulating C. albicans oropharyngeal infection and epithelial cell endocytosis through genetic interaction analysis in a mouse model.

This paper uses intravital imaging to compare in vitro and in vivo filamentation phenotypes of C. albicans transcription factor mutants, finding distinct regulatory patterns in vivo.
