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

New publication from the lab!
Cudos to @frois-martins.bsky.social and a big shout out to our collaborators Bernhard Hube, Christophe d'Enfert and Dominique Sanglard. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I spent a wonderful time at MoMy2025 in Woods Hole. A fantastic course, exceptional young scientists, and great discussions. I enjoyed every moment. Thank you Robb Cramer and David Andes.
