Scientists have uncovered important clues to how human T cells combat Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes TB. La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) is working to guide the ...
Tuberculosis, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) kills upwards of 1.6 million people a year, making it one of the leading causes of death by an infectious agent worldwide - and ...
Lung-on-chip model made of cells derived from a single person furthers understanding of tuberculosis and potential ...
A novel iPSC-derived lung-on-chip model mimics human alveolar tissue, revealing macrophage-driven tuberculosis responses.
La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) is working to guide the development of new tuberculosis vaccines and drug therapies. "This research gives us a better understanding of T cell responses to ...
From the Seshadri Lab as a part of the Cancer Consortium Support Grant To uncover whether these DURTs were associated with resistance to TB following exposure, the researchers utilized their cohort of ...
A fluorescence microscopy image reveals the tuberculosis-causing bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis after an antimicrobial treatment. Membranes are stained red, DNA blue and areas of membrane ...
Macrophages infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis were fixed and imaged at four hours and 72 h postinfection. (Scale bar, 4 μm.) LAM labeling with oxaziridines persists for up to 72 h. Images are ...
Researchers have developed a new highly sensitive blood test for tuberculosis (TB) that screens for DNA fragments of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria that causes the deadly disease. Researchers ...
