Identification of a Golgi-localized UDP-N-acetylglucosamine transporter in Trypanosoma cruzi.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a major cause of infectious morbidity and mortality in immune compromised patients. Studies on the pathogenesis of IA have been limited by the difficulty to monitor disease progression in real-time. For real-time monitoring of the infection, we recently engineered a bioluminesc...
