Innate immune recognition of Debaryomyces hansenii requires Dectin-1-Card9 signaling.
Infection and immunity

Innate immune recognition of Debaryomyces hansenii requires Dectin-1-Card9 signaling.

Researchers found that immune cells detect the gut-associated yeast Debaryomyces hansenii via Dectin-1 and Card9, and the yeast was enriched in Crohn’s disease ulcers. That suggests a possible microbial–immune link...
