Filamentous fungi refer to those that grow as multicellular colonies (mushrooms and molds).

  • Candida infected Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

    Homo sapiens Homo sapiens | RNA Expression   RNA Expression

    Using oligonucleotide microarray analysis, we identified 56 genes that were transcriptionally up-regulated and 69 that were suppressed upon exposure of endothelial cells to C. albicans. Among the regulated genes those attributed to the categories ‘chemotaxis’, ‘signaling’, and ‘transcription and tra…

  • Human dendritic cells after infection with A. fumigatus

    Homo sapiens Homo sapiens | RNA Expression   RNA Expression

    DCs are localized under the mucosa of the lungs and the gastrointestinal tract, and therefore come into close contact with A. fumigatus germ tubes during early steps of infection as soon as fungi become invasive. For a more detailed insight into differentially regulated genes, whole genome microarra…
