Iron restriction inside macrophages regulates pulmonary host defense against Rhizopus species

Mucormycosis is a life-threatening respiratory fungal infection that typically occurs in patients with abnormalities in iron metabolism. Here the authors show that iron restriction inside the phagosome of macrophages is an essential component of the host defense against Rhizopus, the main species ca...

Sumario:Mucormycosis is a life-threatening respiratory fungal infection that typically occurs in patients with abnormalities in iron metabolism. Here the authors show that iron restriction inside the phagosome of macrophages is an essential component of the host defense against Rhizopus, the main species causing mucormycosis.
