Cryptococcal Infection Across Disease Stages: Host–Pathogen Interactions, Tissue Niches, and Translational Priorities

Cryptococcosis often begins in the lungs and may later reach the central nervous system, where it can lead to severe or fatal disease. The course of infection is shaped by changing interactions between host cells, fungal adaptive states, and local tissue environments. Many virulence factors and immune responses have be...
