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

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 ...

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 ...

A new study, "Identifying Allosteric Hotspots in Mycobacterium tuberculosis cAMP Receptor Protein" published in Biochemistry, provides key insights into how bacterial cAMP receptor proteins (CRPs) ...

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 ...

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) primarily affects the lungs. However, TB-causing bacteria can lead to pus collecting in the tissues. This is known as an abscess. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) is the ...
