New York [US], July 23 (ANI): During a new study, researchers paved the way for new vaccine strategies against tuberculosis, and provided insights into fighting other infectious diseases around the world by analyzing how individual immune cells react to the bacterium that causes this deadly disease.
The cutting-edge technologies were developed in the lab of Dr. David Russell, the William Kaplan Professor of Infection Biology in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology in the College of Veterinary Medicine, and detailed in new research published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine on July 22.
For years, Russell's lab has sought to unravel how Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the bacteria that cause tuberculosis, infect and persist in their host cells, which are typically immune cells called macrophages.
