Immune cells fold and damage fungal hyphae

Judith M. Bain et al.

Summary: Innate immunity is vital in protecting against fungal infections, but pathogens have evolved ways to evade immune cells. Researchers found that macrophages can counteract pathogen evasion by folding fungal hyphae, promoting successful fungal clearance through engulfment and inhibition of hyphal growth.

Fungal Melanin and the Mammalian Immune System

Sichen Liu et al.

Summary: Melanins, complex polymers found ubiquitously in humans, bacteria, fungi, and helminths, interact with the mammalian immune system through various pathways, affecting phagocytic cells, effector molecules, antifungals, and immune responses. Specific focus is given to Cryptococcus neoformans and other major melanotic pathogenic fungi in this review.

The global burden of chromoblastomycosis

Daniel Wagner C. L. Santos et al.

Summary: Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a primary implantation mycosis caused by melanized fungi, mainly affecting populations living in poverty with significant morbidity. The global incidence remains unclear, emphasizing the need for more local epidemiological studies.
