New from AHRI in @jem.org AND on the cover!
📸 shows a human TB granuloma in lung tissue. The red, green & yellow cells shown, for example, are all different type of macrophage - immune cells that fight infection by engulfing & killing microbes like Mtb

Played a small part in this cool study @jem.org.
Identifies myofibroblasts as sources of tissue damaging enzymes (MMP1) in TB granuloma, probably responding to cytokine cues from nearby macrophages.
Question now is: can we target therapeutically to prevent post-TB lung damage?

A great tool to be used in remote settings for countries having limited resources. Hoping for a quicker roll out now. #TBSky

Quite clever how you can detect Mycobacterial antigens in extracellular vehicles in blood during asymptomatic TB.
Useful as biomarkers but maybe also to work out in vivo what are early / most abundant Mtb antigens produced.

1/📢 In our new publication, we estimate that in 2022, 134 million people worldwide had a recent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and were at high risk of progressing to TB disease. Read the full paper in PLOS Medicine (tinyurl.com/mtbinfection). #TBSky
Such a fun collaboration with @mel-foulon.bsky.social from the TS lab 🤝-👀 We combined dual RNA-Seq 🧬 and advanced imaging 🔬 to uncover how intracellular compartmentalization drives niche-specific metabolic phenotypes in mycobacteria!!
Fantastic team effort ✨

The anti-tuberculosis drug bedaquiline targets the mycobacterial ATP synthase, but how that leads to bacterial death is unclear
Here the authors clarify how bedaquiline works

TB transmission in healthcare is thankfully rare. Good to get some metrics of what are the highest risk exposures (that are worth following up).

Person‑centred TB care is holistic, individualized, respectful and empowering.
A new KNCV publication argues this shift is only the start of a just transition for DR‑TB, urging us to ask: Who sets the agenda? Who benefits? And who is left behind?
