Abstract in brief

The text explains how pathogenic fungi can change and adapt their cellular structures and functions during infection, which helps them survive and overcome host defenses.
It highlights the concept of cellular plasticity, meaning fungi can switch between different cell types or states to increase their virulence and persistence.
Understanding these adaptive mechanisms can help develop better strategies to combat fungal infections and improve treatments.]
