"Researchers from Jena want to take a stand against fungal infections"
| by Mark Gresnigt
Candida albicans colonizes the human body as a commensal. However, a weakened immune system can lead to serious Candida infections.

Topic of the article is how we investigate whether and how the fungus recognises a weakened immune system to promote its pathogenicity.
