Interactions of fungi with phagocytes
Abstract
Recent advances have broadened our knowledge of the unique role that dendritic cells, macrophages and neutrophils play in protecting the host against fungal infections and the mechanisms by which fungal pathogens attempt to subvert phagocytic defenses. In this article, the interplay between phagocytes and fungi is reviewed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
