"Invasive fungal disease (IFD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the growing number of immunocompromised individuals, including particularly cancer patients, and bone-marrow or organ transplant recipients. The majority of IFD events are still caused by Candida and Aspergillus species, but there is an increasing incidence of resistant or previously uncommon moulds, yeasts and Zygomyc ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Fungal Pathogen Host Interactions (ImResFun)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

ImResFun shall provide state-of-the-art training in infectious disease research and medical immunology targeting the most common human fungal pathogens, the opportunistic Candida species. The key objectives of ImResFun are: (i) to understand how immune cells and infected organs respond to invasion by Candida spp, (ii) to decipher host-defense mechanisms mediating pathogen elimination, and (iii) to ...

By analyzing the structure of eukaryotic genes it is possible to identify two different sequence types: those that are present in the mature transcript or mRNA, called exons, and those that are not present, called introns. RNA sequences which define exon/intron boundaries, spliceosome components, and splicing factors are represented among all eukaryotes. Besides these similarities there are some d ...

The overall objective of UNICELLSYS is a quantitative understanding of fundamental characteristics of eukaryotic unicellular organism biology: how cell growth and proliferation are controlled and coordinated by extracellular and intrinsic stimuli. Achieving an understanding of the principles with which bio-molecular systems function requires integrating quantitative experimentation with simulation ...
