Article Synopsis
- Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a common fungal infection in Latin America, caused by a specific fungus, which enters the body through inhalation and changes its form.
- The study focused on aspartyl proteases, essential enzymes that help the fungus invade the host and evade the immune response.
- Researchers found that these proteases are influenced by environmental conditions, such as pH and nutrient availability, and their activity plays a critical role in the fungus's growth and relationship with the host.
