Harnessing Power of Immune System May Lessen Reliance on Antibiotics for Infections Like TB

Researchers have found that the body's process of removing old and damaged cell parts, is also an essential part of tackling infections that take hold within our cells, like TB. If this natural process can be harnessed with new treatments, it could ...

Researchers Develop New Technology to Easily Detect Active TB

A team of faculty has discovered new technology that will quickly and easily detect active Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) infection ...

In Search of Inflammatory Achilles Heel

不utrophils induce anti-inflammatory -- or M2 -- macrophages deep in their granulocyte core. The dense globular structures of granulomas in animals, particularly in the lungs, have been studied. Microbes and cancer cells may manipulate this permissive microenvironment to favor their survival. A ...

Multiple Shots of the BCG Vaccine Protect Type 1 Diabetics from COVID-19, Study Finds

Researchers are hoping the results of a new study will spur a larger scale study of the effects of the BCG vaccine in patients with type 1 diabetes, considered among the most vulnerable groups to ...
