🫁 Successful TB treatment doesn't always mean full recovery.
New research led by @Esinofils at @mrcunitgambia found that nearly 6 in 10 children and adolescents still had impaired lung function a year after treatment.

💡Excited to share our latest work in @NatureComms! We identified promising host-directed therapies for TB meningitis using mouse models, human brain organoids, and patient immune cells. A step toward better treatments for this devastating disease

For decades, we taught a simple rule: MHC I → CD8 T cells, MHC II → CD4 T cells.
Turns out, that’s incomplete.
MHC I doesn’t just help CD8s “see” cells — it also protects cells from CD4 T cell–driven killing.nature.com/articles/s41590-0…

Did you know that if tuberculosis (TB) medicines are used incorrectly or if the treatment is stopped too soon, the antibiotics can lose their power?

Remember, TB is curable!

Tuberculosis (TB) isn’t just something that happens ‘somewhere else’. It could affect you or someone you know.
The good news? TB is curable. Learn the signs to watch out for.
I feel grateful every day having the opportunity to do what I love to do @@LSUHS @LSUHS_Micro in a supportive environment 🥰

New research in mice suggests that aged #Bcells can promote age-associated T cell defects and contribute to “#immunosenescence” in mice. @Winer_Imm_Lab
