- Neutrophil phagocyte oxidase activity controls invasive fungal growth and inflammation in zebrafish
Summary: Live imaging reveals neutrophil NADPH oxidase activity limits fungal growth and excessive inflammation during Aspergillus nidulans infection in larval zebrafish.
- The spindle pole body of Aspergillus nidulans is asymmetrical and contains changing numbers of γ-tubulin complexes
Highlighted Article: Microtubule formation depends on microtubule-organizing centers. We describe three different types of γ-tubulin ring complexes in nuclear and non-nuclear MTOCs in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans.
- Genetic evidence for a microtubule-capture mechanism during polarised growth of Aspergillus nidulans
Summary: Microtubule plus ends are guided in the tip of growing fungal hyphae along actin cables and converge in one point.
