Trans-cellular tunnels induced by the fungal pathogen Candida albicans facilitate invasion through successive epithelial cells without host damage - Nature.com

The fungal pathogen Candida albicans forms filamentous hyphae that can invade the epithelium. Here, Lachat et al. show that C. albicans early invasion of epithelial tissues can lead to either host membrane breaching and host cell death, or trans-cellular tunn…

New experimental pipeline combines the galectin-3 damage sensitive reporter and live-cell imaging to study C. albicans invasion We developed a new experimental pipeline to study membrane breaching e… [+32858 chars]
