Dcir recognizes Aspergillus fumigatus hyphae and dampens the degranulatory activity of neutrophils. Without Dcir, neutrophils show enhanced fungicidal activity, and the host’s ability to eliminate the ...

People are exposed to millions of fungal spores every day, even potentially harmful ones like those from Aspergillus fumigatus. For most individuals, this constant exposure is harmless, as the immune ...
