The paper identifies essential transcriptional regulators in Cryptococcus neoformans, highlighting Ezt1 as a key regulator of growth, drug response, and virulence.

This study systematically mutagenizes histones in Cryptococcus neoformans to show their role in maintaining 3D chromosome architecture and virulence.

This study shows that Hog1 MAPK localization in Cryptococcus neoformans determines stress adaptation, antifungal resistance, and virulence by affecting glycerol homeostasis and sexual differentiation.

The paper identifies Wcp1, a WD40 protein with cyclophilin domains, as essential for CO2/heat tolerance and acidic pH adaptation in Cryptococcus neoformans, linking these functions to virulence.
