A New aspect of the pathology of brain tuberculosis: Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects and alters human neural progenitor cells

Thanthrige Thiunuwan Priyathilaka, Melinda Herbáth, Mohan Kumar, Collin James Laaker, Michael P. Schwartz, Connie S. Lebakken, Zsuzsanna Fábry, Mátyás Sándor

This study shows Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects human neural progenitor cells, causing cell death, reduced proliferation, and impaired differentiation, which may contribute to cognitive impairments in brain tuberculosis.
