Inflammation

upin mice1

1 study
  1. Candida albicans induce inflammation in mice.

    “often in close association with activated (Iba-1+) microglial cells.”

Fungal brain invasion

upin mice1

1 study
  1. Candida albicans induce fungal brain invasion in mice.

    “C. albicans was detected in different regions of the brain of colonised germ-free mice in both yeast and hyphal cell forms, often in close association with activated (Iba-1+) microglial cells.”
