    • Melanocytes and melanin represent a first line of innate immunity against Candida albicans 
      Tapia, Cecilia; Falconer, Maryanne; Tempio, Fabián; Falcón, Felipe; López, Mercedes; Fuentes, Marisol; Alburquenque, Claudio; Amaro, José; Bucarey, Sergio A.; Nardo, Anna Di (Oxford University Press, 2014)
      Melanocytes are dendritic cells located in the skin and mucosae that synthesize melanin. Some infections induce hypo-or hyperpigmentation, which is associated with the activation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), especially ...
    • Protective effect of inactivated blastoconidia in keratinocytes and human reconstituted epithelium against ... 
      Alburquenque, Claudio; Amaro, José; Fuentes, Marisol; Falconer, Mary A.; Moreno, Claudia; Covarrubias, Cristian; Pinto, Cristian; Rodas, Paula I.; Bucarey, Sergio A.; Hermosilla, Germán; Magne, Fabien; Tapia, Cecilia V. (Oxford University Press, 2019)
      Candida albicans is commensal yeast that colonizes skin and mucosa; however, it can become an opportunist pathogen by changing from blastoconidia (commensal form) into hypha (pathogenic form). Each form activates a different ...
