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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Signal transduction across membranes through regulated intramembrane proteolysis is conserved throughout all domains of life. In the SREBP pathway of human cells, the membrane-bound SREBP ...

A previous analysis examined the public health impact of new tuberculosis vaccines and predicted that a pre-exposure vaccine, targeting the acquisition of infection or primary progression would be ...

PROBABLY every physician has been surprised by the sporadic appearance of pulmonary and other forms of tuberculosis in a previously healthy older person in whom recent exposure to an open case of the ...
