The paper distinguishes polymer turnover from de novo biosynthesis in Aspergillus fumigatus during conidial germination using isotope-edited solid-state NMR, revealing dynamic cell wall remodeling.

This study shows how the cell wall of Rhizopus delemar reprograms during germination, enhancing immune recognition, and identifies key polysaccharide changes involved.

This study examines the structural role of chitosan in Cryptococcus cell walls, revealing species-specific remodeling effects when chitosan is absent.

This study investigates how cell-wall remodeling in an Aspergillus fumigatus vaccine strain affects innate immune recognition through structural and functional analyses.

This study uses solid-state NMR to reveal five structural forms of α-glucans in Cryptococcus cell walls, showing their role in scaffolding and interacting with chitin, capsule, and melanin.

This study uses solid-state NMR to analyze the molecular structure of cell walls in Mucorales fungi, revealing the composition and organization of chitin, chitosan, and associated polysaccharides.
