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

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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- 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 ...

Project title: “Evolution of Polar Cell Wall Growth Across Bacterial Clades” What’s the idea?

An experimental drug now in clinical trials as a cancer treatment could help boost the power of first-line tuberculosis (TB) ...
