In vitro modulation of human keratinocyte pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine production by the capsule of Malassezia species

Malassezia spp. are commensal, cutaneous fungi that are implicated in seborrhoeic dermatitis. We hypothesize that the lipid-rich capsule of Malassezia spp. masks the organism from host detection, and depletion of this layer elicits an inflammatory response. To... ...
