Molecules found in mucus can stop the fungal infection
Mucins are huge ice-forming polymers found within the mucosal barrier that prevent Candida albicans from passing from yeast to hyphal, a major virulence feature of this important human fungal disease. Despite their potential for therapeutic intervention, the molecular patterns of mucins that hinder filamentation remain unknown. MIT scientists have now discovered mucus components that interact …
