The goal of the study is to investigate host genetic and immunologic predictors of resistance to M. tuberculosis infection and progression from latent M. tuberculosis infection to active tuberculosis ...

Mammalian hosts coordinate various cell death pathways as part of the immune defense system against pathogens including Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which causes tuberculosis featuring lung ...

A histone acetylome-wide associations study (HAWAS) performed in immune cells from patients with active Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection versus those from healthy controls, has for the first time ...

It has been uncertain how Mycobacterium tuberculosis deflects the immune response in humans, though evidence has pointed to host immunometabolism—the intrinsic link between metabolism in immune cells ...

Mycobacterial diseases, including tuberculosis (TB), leprosy, and non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections, continue to impose a substantial global ...

CHAPEL HILL -- New research led by a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill scientist shows for the first time how Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the germ responsible for TB, uses a system for ...

New observations of the early stages of tuberculosis infection may turn scientists' understanding of the bug's pathogenesis on its head: clumps of immune cells, called granulomas, long thought to ...

A consortium of researchers from Russia, Belarus, Japan, Germany and France led by a Skoltech scientist have uncovered the way in which Mycobacterium tuberculosis survives in iron-deficient conditions ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about health and U.K. health policy. Although it's often thought of as a disease of the past, tuberculosis is still found ...

A team of United States-based scientists recently conducted a study to evaluate the effect of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection on the pathogenesis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus ...
