Candida albicans Filamentation Does Not Require the cAMP-PKA Pathway .
mBio
June 2022
Department of Pediatrics, Carver College of Medicine, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - Candida albicans, a common human fungal pathogen, can switch between yeast and filamentous forms, a process crucial for its ability to cause disease, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems.
