Sophorolipid induces ROS generation in C. albicans leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and ER stress followed by the release of Ca2+ ions (from the ER lumen) that enter mitochondria and further magnify ROS generation leading to cell death.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
