Decrypting Immunity: Enhancing Defense Against Fungal Pathogens

mbio | March 1, 2024

This study found that a specific type of immune cell called cDC1, protects the body against a fundal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans, which can cause serious lung infections. This is important because it suggests that boosting the functions of these immune cells could improve the body’s ability to fight off fungal infections. Jintao Xu was supported by an American Lung Association Catalyst Award.
