Trimming Surface Sugars Protects Histoplasma from Immune Attack
Dectin-1 is an essential innate immune receptor that recognizes β-glucans in fungal cell walls. Its importance is underscored by the mechanisms that fungal pathogens have evolved to avoid detection by this receptor. One such pathogen is Histoplasma capsulatum, and in a recent article in mBio, Rapple...
