Researchers at the Ragon Institute have made a significant discovery about how antibodies can directly enhance the body's ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown how the bacteria causing tuberculosis (TB) directly cross the brain's ...

The research team demonstrated that innate immune cells called Natural Killer (NK) cells that express CD8a on the cell surface (a receptor usually associated with T cells) are reactive to human ...

There is no highly effective vaccine against tuberculosis (TB), which remains an infection of global concern. Charles ...

The bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB) may have an "on-off switch" that lets them pause and restart growth, according to a new study from the University of Surrey and the University of Oxford.

Tuberculosis, the world’s deadliest infectious disease, is estimated to infect around 10 million people each year and kills more than 1 million annually. Once established in the lungs, the bacteria’s ...

Chemists found a way to identify a complex sugar molecule in the cell walls of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the world's deadliest pathogen. This labeling could lead to simpler, faster TB tests.

After labeling the glycan, the researchers were able to visualize where it is located within the bacterial cell wall, and to study what happens to it throughout the first few days of tuberculosis ...
