Host skin lipids trigger MAT-dependent mating, pathogenic hyphal growth, and parasexual reproduction of Malassezia furfur

2026-07-27

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> The lipophilic yeast genus Malassezia dominates the human skin mycobiome and, while typically commensal, is associated with skin disorders in which hyphal cells are frequently observed. However, the mechanisms underlying hyphal differentiation and its contribution to pathogenesis remain poorly understood. Here, we show that hyphal growth in Malassezia furfur requires a complete mating-t...
