Molecular Approaches to Fungal Morphogenesis: INTRODUCTION

Fungal morphogenesis.

Morphogenesis in fungi is often induced by extracellular factors and executed by fungal genetic factors. Cell surface changes and alterations of the microenvironment often accompany morphogenetic changes in fungi. In this review, we will first discuss the general traits of yeast and hyphal morphotypes and how morphogenesis affects development and adaptation by fungi to their native niches, incl...

An Introduction to some new approaches in clinical education

Introduction: Clinical education is one of the most important and crucial parts of health science education. Successful clinical education needs to adopt effective approaches that are based on up to date knowledge, clients’ and patients’ needs. Therefore, it can prepare the learners for learning. This study aimed to introduce some new approaches in clinical education. Methods: In this review s...

Genomic approaches to fungal pathogenicity.

Within a few years, the genome sequences of a large number of medically and agriculturally important fungi will be known. With this resource come the promises of genomic approaches to study pathogenicity and host-fungus interactions. Genomics is particularly attractive for these questions, as conventional genetic and biochemical approaches are limited in many pathogenic fungi. Recent work has a...

Fungal Morphogenesis: In Hot Pursuit

Temperature affects diverse biological processes. In fungi such as the pathogen Candida albicans, temperature governs a morphogenetic switch between yeast and hyphal growth. A new report connects the thermosensor Hsp90 to a CDK-cyclin-transcription factor module that controls morphogenesis.
