Morris Emma, Sheriff Lozan, Drummond Rebecca A
Abstract excerpt
Organ-specific immune responses are shaped by tissue microenvironments, which instruct and regulate the behaviour of tissue-resident macrophages and lymphocytes. During infection, microbes are also influenced by tissue-specific environmental signals, which may influence host-microbe interactions and infection outcome. The pathogenic fungus Candida albicans undergoes significant adaptation within the host,...
