Article Abstract
The ability of myeloid cells to recognize and differentiate endogenous or exogenous ligands rely on the presence of different transmembrane protein receptors. C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), defined by the presence of a conserved structural motif called C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD), are a crucial family of receptors involved in this process, being able to recognize a diverse range of ligands from glycans to proteins or lipids and capable of initiating an immune response. The Dectin-1 and Dectin-2 clusters involve two groups of CLRs, with genes genomically linked within the natural killer cluster of genes in both humans and mice, and all characterized by the presence of a single extracellular CTLD. Fundamental immune cell functions such as antimicrobial effector mechanisms as well as internalization and presentation of antigens are induced and/or regulated through activatory, or inhibitory signalling pathways triggered by these receptors after ligand binding. In this review, we will discuss the most recent concepts regarding expression, ligands, signaling pathways and functions of each member of the Dectin clusters of CLRs, highlighting the importance and diversity of their functions.

The fungus commensally colonizes mucosal surfaces in healthy individuals but can cause both superficial mucosal and life-threatening disseminated infections. The balance between commensalism and pathogenicity is complex and depends on factors including host and fungal genetic background, the host environment, and fungal interactions with local microbes. The major interaction interface of with the host is its multilayered cell wall, which is dynamic and highly responsive to the surrounding environment.

Fungi are ubiquitous organisms that are capable of transient or persistent colonization in humans. Their polymorphic nature and complex host-mycobiome interactions remain incompletely understood. Emerging evidence highlights the role of resident fungi in modulating immune responses and adapting to host changes, which can trigger a shift from commensalism to parasitism, particularly in immunocompromised individuals.

pneumonia (PJP) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality during AIDS. In AIDS, the absence of CD4 immunity results in exuberant and often fatal PJP. In addition, organism clearance requires a balanced macrophage response since excessive inflammation promotes lung injury and respiratory failure.

The fungal community of the skin microbiome is dominated by a single genus, Malassezia. Besides its symbiotic lifestyle at the host interface, this commensal yeast has also been associated with diverse inflammatory skin diseases in humans and pet animals. Stable colonization is maintained by antifungal type 17 immunity.

Immune stimuli are able to trigger long-term protective effects through mechanisms of trained immunity, which has attracted increasing attention. Although the existence of trained immunity has evidenced in teleost fish, while there were no such reports in pufferfish (Takifugu obscurus) so far. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the induction of β-glucan and mannan on the trained immunity and their protective efficacy against Vibrio harveyi re-stimulation in pufferfish.
