The Cryptococcus neoformans Titan cell is an inducible and regulated morphotype underlying pathogenesis.

The Cryptococcus neoformans Titan cell is an inducible and regulated morphotype underlying pathogenesis.

Fungal cells change shape in response to environmental stimuli, and these morphogenic transitions drive pathogenesis and niche adaptation. For example, dimorphic fungi switch between yeast and hyphae in response to changing temperature. The basidiomycete Cryptococcus neoformans undergoes an unusual...
