Phospholipids trigger cryptococcus neoformans capsular enlargement during interactions with amoebae and macrophages

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Cara J. Chrisman and collaborators from the Editor: Christina MHull, University of Wisconsin-Madison, United States of America have published the research work: Phospholipids Trigger Cryptococcus neoformans Capsular Enlargement during Interactions with Amoebae and Macrophages, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of May/26,/2011
• what: These observations led to a search for the signal sensed by C. neoformans and the authors report that phospholipids can trigger both capsule enlargement and giant cell formation. In considering common triggers found in both macrophages and amoebae, the authors focused on membrane lipids, given that cell membranes are highly . . .
