The team also investigated how HIV co-infection impacts TB bacteria entering and infecting cells in the brain. Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium ...

What we know, what we miss and why TB persists. In a lab in the heart of Boston, professor Bree Aldridge leads a team of researchers trying to understand a threat that is both microscopic in size and ...

TB's behavior challenges fundamental bacterial biology as it's been thought that ribosomes - which are sites of protein synthesis in the cell - drive cell growth rates, but our work suggests that ...

Current tuberculosis infection tests struggle to detect the disease in those with HIV. A common co-infection, HIV can hide TB ...

Tuberculosis kills 1.6 million a year — the second deadliest infectious disease after COVID-19. Using immune cells and mRNA technology, scientists in South Africa are working on a new vaccine.
