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 ...

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 ...

The bacterium that causes TB can hide in liver cells called hepatocytes, and reprogram their metabolism for its own benefit.

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 ...

Psychiatry has struggled to enter the precision medicine era. But through a mix of innovations and bootstrapping, progress is coming to the field. Scientists are ...

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 ...

Untreated tuberculosis may result in several long-term complications, such as permanent lung damage. It’s vital for the condition to be treated early to prevent the infection from traveling to other ...
