Deskripsi

ABSTRACT Jorge Amich studies several aspects of sulfur and nitrogen metabolism in Aspergillus fumigatus, with the ultimate aim of identifying targets for the development of novel antifungals. In this mSphere of Influence article, he reflects on how “Sub-Telomere Directed Gene Expression during Initiation of Invasive Aspergillosis” (A. McDonagh, N. D. Fedorova, J. Crabtree, Y. Yu, S. Kim, et al., PLoS Pathog 4:e1000154, 2008, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1000154) impacted his thinking about in vivo metabolism and how to investigate it.
