An <i>in vitro</i> method for inducing titan cells reveals novel features of yeast-to-titan switching in the human fungal pathogen <i>Cryptococcus gattii</i>

2022-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcosis is a potentially lethal fungal infection of humans caused by organisms within the Cryptococcus neoformans/gattii species complex. Whilst C. neoformans is a relatively common pathogen of immunocompromised individuals, C. gattii is capable of acting as a primary pathogen of immunocompetent individuals. Within the host, both species undergo morphogenesis to form titan cells: exceptionally large cell...
