Impact of extracellular vesicles from various species of Candida fungi on the cross-species interactions with human epithelial cells

Key Points

• Candida fungi-derived extracellular vesicles influence human epithelial cell interactions, enhancing pathogenicity.
• Key evidence shows vesicles from various species of Candida significantly alter epithelial cell signaling pathways during interactions.
• Analysis of extracellular vesicle interactions revealed significant effects on immune response and cellular signaling in human epithelial cells.
• This highlights the need for further understanding of Candida’s role in host-pathogen interactions to inform therapeutic strategies.
