• Abstract

  Fungi of the genus Candida are part of the human microbiota, but they are also responsible for invasive infections, which can affect the central nervous system (CNS). The fungal cell or derivatives, such as extracellular vesicles, can interact with resident cells and still activate immune responses, affecting homeostasis and inflammatory processes in the CNS. We hypothesized that after in…

  Concerning asthma, the post-doctoral project entitled "Role of TLR2 and TLR9-dependent signalling in epithelial or dendritic cells in lung inflammation during allergen reexposureand pneumococcal infection" aims to determine the contribution of TLR2 and/or TLR9-dependent signalling in epithelial and/or myeloid cells for Th17 profile induction and neutrophil migration in asthma and pneumoni…

• Abstract

  Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a severe autoimmune disease that affects the Central Nervous System (CNS). Environmental factors such as infectious agents could trigger or exacerbate this disease. In this context, the objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of Candida albicans in the development of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalitis (EAE) that is a murine model used to study this d…
