Dectin-1 Signaling Update: New Perspectives for Trained Immunity
The C-type lectin receptor Dectin-1 was originally described as the β-glucan receptor expressed in myeloid cells, with crucial functions in antifungal responses.

Myeloid cells are components of the innate immune system that represent the first line of defense.
In this issue of Immunity, Warnatsch et al. (2017) describe how neutrophils measure their microbial opponents by differential shuttling of reactive oxygen species (ROS)
Candida albicans triggers a differential profile of microRNAs depending on its growing form. No abstract available.
Dectin-1 (Clec7a) is a paradigmatic C-type lectin receptor that binds Syk through a hemITAM motif and couples sensing of pathogens such as fungi to induction of innate responses.
