This study identifies CMPK2 as a host factor that restricts Mycobacterium tuberculosis replication in human macrophages and alters gene expression related to innate immunity.

This study identifies SNX5 as a regulator of MHC-II antigen presentation during Mtb infection, linking endosomal sorting to immune responses against intracellular pathogens.

This study shows that airflow constraints can suppress tuberculosis transmission in guinea pigs, even under conditions that would otherwise allow transmission.

This study develops a humanized lung-on-a-chip model to study early immune responses to Mycobacterium fortuitum infection, revealing cytokine and protease inhibitor upregulation.

This study examines how prolonged antibiotic treatment affects M. tuberculosis physiology in mice, finding that sterilizing and non-sterilizing antibiotics induce distinct transcriptional responses.
