Host immune status is closely related to fungal infection, particularly pulmonary mycosis, however, the mechanisms of the host’s anti-fungi response are still not very clear. Especially, the role of innate immunity and acquired immunity in its occurrence and development. Previous studies have suggested that cellular immunity, including T cells, neutrophils, macrophages, or dendritic cells, plays an important role in various fungal infections, such as aspergillus infection and cryptococcus infection. Moreover, the mechanisms involved in cellular immunity are still not very clear and need to be delineated.
The goal of the Research Topic is to showcase studies on new cellular immune mechanisms related to fungal genesis and development as well as new molecules or pathways in pulmonary mycosis. We welcome manuscripts in the following subtopics:
1. New cellular subpopulations in anti-fungi infection: single-cell sequencing or flow cytometry to identify the new cell subpopulation in human or modeled animals that are involved in fungi infection. Moreover, innate immunity against fungi infection or fungi-induced diseases.
2. Cellular immunity and infection of Talaromyces marneffei.
3, Cellular immunity and infection of pulmonary cryptococcosis.
4. Cellular immunity and infection of pulmonary aspergillosis.
5. Cellular immunity and infection of pulmonary mucormycosis.
