MUC16-dependent Renal Vascular Adhesion of Candida Promotes Tissue Invasion and Predicts Clinical Outcome in Candidemia
2026-03-04
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Bloodstream infection with Candida species is associated with high mortality, yet the molecular basis of vascular adhesion and invasion remains unclear. We identify the endothelial surface mucin MUC16 as a key host factor enabling fungal vascular adherence. The MUC16 SEA domain directly engages the Candida adhesin Als3p and endothelial N-cadherin to form a ternary complex that promotes...
