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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Existing treatments control TB and HIV, but the immune system does not revert to normal, helping explain why people living with HIV remain susceptible to infections and underscoring the need for ...

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 ...
