    Abstract Immunity to fungal infections of the central nervous system (CNS) is one of the most poorly understood subjects within the field of medical mycology. Yet, the majority of deaths from invasive fungal infections are caused by brain-tropic fungi. In recent years, there have been several significant discoveries in the regulation of neuroinflammation and the role of the immune system in tissue homeostasis within the CNS. In this review, I highlight five important advances in the neuroimmunology field over the last decade and discuss how we should capitalise on these discoveries to better understand the pathogenesis of fungal CNS infections. In addition, the latest insights into fungal invasion tactics, microglia-astrocyte crosstalk and regulation of antifungal adaptive immune responses are summarised in the context of our contemporary understanding of CNS-specific immunity.

    Abstract Rebecca Drummond works in the field of antifungal immunity. In this mSphere of Influence article, she reflects on how papers by Amit et al. (H. Keren-Shaul, A. Spinrad, A. Weiner, O. Matcovitch-Natan, et al., Cell 169:1276-1290, 2017) and Ayres et al. (K. K. Sanchez, G. Y. Chen, A. M. P. Schieber, S. E. Redford, et al., Cell 175:146-158, 2018) made an impact on her by introducing her to new concepts in immune system complexity.

    Abstract Invasive fungal infections represent a significant global health problem, and present several clinical challenges, including limited treatment options, increasing rates of antifungal drug resistance and compounding comorbidities in affected patients. Metals, such as copper, iron and zinc, are critical for various biological and cellular processes across phyla. In mammals, these metals are important determinants of immune responses, but pathogenic microbes, including fungi, also require access to these metals to fuel their own growth and drive expression of major virulence traits. Therefore, host immune cells have developed strategies to either restrict access to metals to induce starvation of invading pathogens or deploy toxic concentrations within phagosomes to cause metal poisoning. In this Review, we describe the mechanisms regulating fungal scavenging and detoxification of copper, iron and zinc and the importance of these mechanisms for virulence and infection. We also outline how these metals are involved in host immune responses and the consequences of metal deficiencies or overloads on how the host controls invasive fungal infections.

    Abstract Invasive fungal infections may involve the brain and central nervous system (CNS), leading to often fatal meningitis in immunocompromised individuals. Recent technological advances have allowed us to move beyond studying the brain parenchyma to understanding the immune mechanisms of the meninges, the protective layer that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Specifically, advanced microscopy techniques have enabled researchers to begin to visualize the anatomy of the meninges and the cellular mediators of meningeal inflammation. In this chapter, we describe how to make meningeal tissue mounts for imaging by confocal microscopy.

    Abstract Pathogenic fungi have the remarkable ability to undergo morphological changes that can determine their virulence potential. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Denham et al. identify a fungal morphotype that is uniquely adapted for extrapulmonary dissemination, contributing toward invasive infection and escaping host immune responses.

    Abstract Podocytes are exquisitely fashioned kidney cells that serve an essential role in the process of blood filtration. Congenital malformation or damage to podocytes has dire consequences and initiates a cascade of pathological changes leading to renal disease states known as podocytopathies. In addition, animal models have been integral to discovering the molecular pathways that direct the development of podocytes. In this review, we explore how researchers have used the zebrafish to illuminate new insights about the processes of podocyte ontogeny, model podocytopathies, and create opportunities to discover future therapies.
