lasma metabolomic analysis in active tuberculosis patients and healthy controls. Cerebral tuberculosis (CTB), a severe and often fatal form of central nervous system (CNS) tuberculosis, poses ...

Researchers have identified a mechanism by which Mycobacterium tuberculosis exploits a key immune receptor to survive inside ...

A novel iPSC-derived lung-on-chip model mimics human alveolar tissue, revealing macrophage-driven tuberculosis responses.

A sugar on mycobacteria binds to the immune receptor dectin-1 on host macrophages, helping the bacteria survive and driving ...

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 ...

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that kills more than a million people worldwide every year. The pathogen that causes the disease, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is deadly in part because of ...

Texas Biomed researchers find that existing treatments control TB and HIV, but the immune system does not revert to normal, ...

Scientists discovered genes in the tuberculosis bacterium that becomes essential for the pathogen's survival when it's exposed to air through coughing. These genes could be targets for new therapies ...

Down-regulation of plasma exosome-derived apolipoproteins APOA1, APOB, and APOC1 indicates DR-TB status and lipid metabolism regulation in pathogenesis. Group case-controlled study assessed 17 drug ...
