IL-17-mediated antifungal immunity restricts Candida albicans pathogenicity in the oral cavity - Nature Microbiology

IL-17 signalling restricts C. albicans pathogenicity in the colonized oral cavity. Lack of IL-17 is associated with overt filamentation due to impaired zinc nutritional immunity and over time leads to...

Thank you @leibniz-hki.de for highlighting our recent publication that arose from an inspiring collaboration with the Hube lab www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Dynamic expression of candidalysin facilitates oral colonization of Candida albicans in mice - Nature Microbiology

Despite being a virulence factor, candidalysin toxin is essential for Candida albicans to penetrate the oral epithelium to establish and maintain non-infectious colonization

Dose makes the difference! #Candidaalbicans uses the toxin #candidalysin not only to cause infections but also to quietly colonize the mouth – too little fails, too much triggers immune defense. @natmicrobiol.nature.com @mpm-hki.bsky.social picture credits: Erik Böhm, @leibniz-hki.de

A big shout out for @egi92.bsky.social for his great PhD work recently posted on www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #mycosky

The skin commensal yeast Malassezia promotes tissue homeostasis via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor

As an abundant fungal colonizer of human skin, Malassezia has long been associated with pathological skin conditions, yet its role in skin homeostasis remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate th...

Our new preprint is out on @biorxivpreprint! 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... This work done as part of my PhD at @lableibundgut.bsky.social We show that the commensal fungus Malassezia promotes skin barrier function via AhR signaling, through secreted tryptophan-derived indoles.
