Neurobasal medium enhances titan cell formation in Cryptococcus spp.
Our findings indicate that NB medium, originally developed for neuronal cell cultures, is a useful tool for studying titan cell biology. This is particularly relevant given the association between titan cells and the central nervous system, highlighting their potential role in Cryptococcus pathogenesis.
