SIV infection disrupts the spatial cellular and communication networks of pulmonary granulomas during SIV/Mtb co-infection

Jessica Medrano, Persis S Sunny, Collin R. Diedrich, Pauline A Maiello, Christopher Kline, Tara W. Rutledge, Edwin Klein, Joshua T. Mattila, Jishnu Das, Zandrea Ambrose, Philana Ling Lin

This study examines how SIV infection affects spatial cellular organization and communication in pulmonary granulomas during SIV/Mtb co-infection, showing disrupted patterns not fully restored by ART.

Characterizing PET CT patterns and bacterial dissemination features of tuberculosis relapse in the macaque model

Pauline A Maiello, Collin R. Diedrich, Tara W. Rutledge, Mark Rodgers, Kara B. Kracinovsky, Henry Jacob Borish, Alexander G. White, Forrest F. Hopkins, Michael C. Chao, Edwin C. Klein, Sarah M. Fortune, JoAnne L. Flynn, Philana Ling Lin

The paper investigates TB relapse in a macaque model, finding that complete sterilization protects against relapse but PET CT cannot predict it, and that Mtb dissemination originates from both lung and lymph nodes.
