Non-canonical signalling mediates changes in fungal cell wall PAMPs that drive immune evasion
The authors show that the fungal pathogen Candida albicans exploits diverse host-associated signals, including specific nutrients and stresses, to promote immune evasion by masking cell wall β-glucan, a major pathogen-associated molecular pattern.
