Dr. Carpenter is researching how T cells respond to tuberculosis in the hopes of preventing active TB disease.

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

A portable device to detect tuberculosis with the help of a smartphone has been developed by a team of researchers at Tezpur University in Assam.

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.

The researchers concluded that the interplay between CD4 and CD8 T cells creates an anti-inflammatory environment that is hostile to Mtb and, as a result, limits bacterial growth and disease severity.

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 ...
