The <i>Amt2</i> Gene is Key for <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> Transmigration Across The Blood-Brain Barrier and Closely Linked to Its Capsule Formation

2026-01-30

Abstract excerpt

The cryptococcal Amt family of ammonium transporters have been identified from our previous studies as one of the most highly upregulated proteins during transmigration in an in vitro blood-brain barrier (BBB) model, however, the role of this gene family has never been reported. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of the Amt2 gene in the transmigration of C. neoformans across the BBB, examine it...
