Abstract excerpt
Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a key transcription factor that regulates a spectrum of genes and signalling pathways critical for the antifungal immune response. Mutations in the STAT3 gene confer susceptibility to severe and recurrent fungal infections, predominantly via disruption of interleukin-17 (IL-17)-mediated immunity. This review synthesises current mechanistic insights...
