This study shows that the Aspergillus fumigatus CreA repressor is critical for corneal infection by enabling hyphal invasion, while gluconeogenesis is not required for infection in lung or cornea.

This paper investigates the antifungal properties of 4μ8C, an Ire1 inhibitor, showing strong activity against Aspergillus fumigatus in vitro and in a fungal keratitis treatment model.

This study shows that disrupting the PCA pathway in fungi affects vacuolar integrity, drug detoxification, and susceptibility to antifungal drugs, supporting its potential as a therapeutic target.
