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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Vision – To be the world's leading and most trusted provider of information and services that will make a real difference in clinical practice and improve outcomes for patients. Mission – To lead the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
