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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have identified a lipid-driven biophysical mechanism that allows tuberculosis-causing mycobacteria to survive inside human immune cells, a discovery that could inform novel ...

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 ...

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 ...

Disseminated tuberculosis is a type of tuberculosis (TB) where mycobacteria spread via blood to other organs beyond the lungs. It can cause severe multiple-organ damage in the absence of early ...

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 ...
