This study shows Cryptococcus spores invade alveolar epithelial cells in vitro and in vivo, suggesting these cells may serve as an intracellular niche for dissemination and latency.

The paper identifies widespread alternative TSS usage in Cryptococcus fungi in response to environmental cues and shows that the transcription factor Tur1 regulates this process genome-wide.

This study shows that loss of MARCO in macrophages leads to increased vomocytosis of Cryptococcus neoformans.

The paper tests the accidental pathogen hypothesis by identifying a QTL linked to amoeba resistance and melanization in Cryptococcus species, finding no correlation with macrophage resistance or virulence.

This paper introduces TOBLERONE, a topological image analysis tool for automated cell segmentation and membrane order quantification using confocal microscopy images.

This study compares the transcriptional responses of four C. gattii lineages to macrophages, identifying lineage-specific gene expression patterns and pathogenicity-related processes.

This paper identifies a novel anti-GXM monoclonal antibody, Crp127, that reveals GXM epitope redistribution to the capsule surface during Titanisation in Cryptococcus neoformans.
