Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Signaling Governs the Host Inflammatory Response to Invasive Aspergillosis
2024-09-10
Abstract excerpt
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been identified as an epithelial cell receptor for Mucorales fungi and Candida albicans . Blocking EGFR with small molecule inhibitors reduces disease severity in mouse models of mucormycosis and oropharyngeal candidiasis. In contrast, cases of invasive aspergillosis have been reported in cancer patients who were treated with EGFR inhibitors, suggesting that EGFR si...
