Enzymes known as kinases play a critical role in cell growth, metabolism and signaling in a multitude of organisms across the ...

In animals lacking innate CD8+ cells, researchers identified more bacterial dissemination across lungs and lymph nodes, suggesting that innate CD8+ cells create a bottleneck, preventing bacteria ...

The ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), a serious respiratory infection, to form snake-like cords was first noted nearly 80 years ago. In a study published October 20 in the journal Cell ...

Tuberculosis (TB) is a prevalent infectious disease that affects millions of people each year. It was previously the leading cause of death from a single pathogen before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tuberculosis is an infectious bacterial disease that has co-evolved with humans for millenia and is “arguably the most successful human bacterial pathogen,” the authors wrote.

Tezpur University researchers develop affordable, portable device using autofluorescence to detect tuberculosis in rural areas.

Once the body's immune system is infected with tuberculosis, it forms granulomas -- tight clusters of white blood cells -- in an attempt to wall off the infection-causing bacteria in the lungs.

Because Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an airborne bacteria, a person can be exposed without ever realizing it. Once exposed, many people go months or years without any symptoms.
