Focusing on human fungal pathogens and immunology of fungal infections
- It was our great pleasure to host @darrenthomson.bsky.social for a seminar on microscopy of fungal infection biology (#MycoScopy) at the @leibniz-hki.de for the @jsmc-info.bsky.social summer school. Naturally he also had to take a peek through Zeiss‘ microscope 🔬
- Reposted by Adaptive Pathogenicity Strategies💡 New infection strategy in #Candida albicans discovered: human #albumin reprograms its metabolism, turning harmless strains pathogenic – without the need of hyphae or toxins. #LeibnizHKI 🗞️ lmy.de/mthFi 🧪 rdcu.be/exl7d @markgresnigt.bsky.social @aps-hki.bsky.social @dfg.de @microverse.bsky.social
- We are exited to share our story just out in @natcomms.nature.com on how the yeast Candida albicans can exploit human albumin to engage an alternative pathogenicity pathway, not relying on previously uncovered virulence factors. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Reposted by Adaptive Pathogenicity StrategiesWhat an afternoon! ✨️ Yesterday, we had our annual group excursion together with @aps-hki.bsky.social. We visited the Petersberg citadel in Erfurt🏰, participated in a chocolate workshop and prepared our own pralines🍫, and had a nice dinner together! 🍻🌃 @leibniz-hki.de
- Just out: Check out the interview of ACS infectious diseases with our PhD student Karen Cheng working on new inflammatory axis in vaginal candidiasis axial.acs.org/medicinal-ch...

- We are incredibly proud of Kar On Cheng for winning the best presentation award at the 28th Symposium: "Infection and Immune Defense". She presented her doctorate project on IL-36 and its role in inflammation during RVVC. Congratulations Kar On!!!
- Reposted by Adaptive Pathogenicity StrategiesMy group @aps-hki.bsky.social is looking for a new postdoc in immunology of fungal infections focusing on vulvovaginal candidiasis. Please contact me for further details in case of interest.
- Reposted by Adaptive Pathogenicity StrategiesCheck out our newest publication by Marisa Valenttine in collaboration with Diletta Rosati in Nijmegen! They investigated how lactic acid modulates #Candida albicans immunogenicity in vulvovaginal candidiasis. 👉 doi.org/10.1080/2150...
- Reposted by Adaptive Pathogenicity StrategiesPathogenic microorganisms employ adaptive strategies to escape host defense. Hitzler et al. explore how bacterial and fungal pathogens escape the host immune system. buff.ly/4ajQ9On #FEMSMicrobiolRev @markgresnigt.bsky.social
- Reposted by Adaptive Pathogenicity StrategiesProud to share our latest article with the group of Mihai Netea showing that lactic acid in the vaginal milieu modulates the Candida-host interactions that underlie the immune responses associated with vulvovaginal candidiasis www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
- We are excited to share that in the last few days of 2024 our review on how bacterial and fungal pathogens🦠🍄🧫 bind and/or sense immune mediators to evade and escape the immune system has been published in @femsjournals.bsky.social #FEMSMicrobiologyReviews. academic.oup.com/femsre/advan...
