The mycobiota: interactions between commensal fungi and the host immune system

[Bob]

A review of the interactions between fungi and the human immune system.

I haven't got access to the full paper, but it looks like it could be interesting.

Abstract. The body is host to a wide variety of microbial communities from which the immune system protects us and that are important for the normal development of the immune system and for the maintenance of healthy tissues and physiological processes. Investigators have mostly focused on the bacterial members of these communities, but fungi are increasingly being recognized to have a role in defining these communities and to interact with immune cells. In this Review, we discuss what is currently known about the makeup of fungal communities in the body and the features of the immune system that are particularly important for interacting with fungi at these sites.

It contains some interesting graphics:

I think it looks interesting, if we got hold of it this, would it still be a matter of not being able to share info from it @Bob. I don't know all those rules.
