#KStuberculosis24: @michael_shiloh shares beautiful work identifying Mtb-associated molecules that induce cough and may contribute to increased transmissibility of Lineage 2 strains.

#KStuberculosis24: Nicole Howard (Harvard) shares beautiful dissection of bacterial genetic factors linked to success of an Mtb subclade that has recently dominated infection in Peru.

#KStuberculosis24: Vaishavi Kaipilyawar (Rutgers) shares beautiful comparative characterizations of infection responses between high-transmission vs. low-transmission strains in mice, revealing differences in neutrophil behavior and recruitment.

#KStuberculosis24: Bishai Lab closes morning session with beautiful study dissecting hormonal vs. genetic sex-specific differences in #tuberculosis infection with the FCG mouse model, identifying significant differences in pathology, immune cell recruitment, inflammatory response

#KSTuberculosis24: Andrew DiNardo (Baylor) shares interesting insights into altered epigenetic modifications associated with #tuberculosis that persist even beyond successful treatment, potentially linked to persistent inflammation that also extends beyond cure.

#KStuberculosis24: Ananda Rankin shares beautiful characterizations studying Mtb infection in neutrophils and investigating pathogen factors that mediate Mtb persistence in neutrophils and modulation of neutrophil responses.

#KStuberculosis24: Krishna C. shares intricate characterizations on the effect of Mtb infection on neutrophil metabolic response, revealing that infection induces oxidative burst, dependent on shifts in energy metabolism that occur in neutrophils during infection.

#KStuberculosis24: Elizabeth Gold (SCRI) closed session with beautiful characterization on the role of APOE, a cholesterol regulator, on sensitizing hosts to Mtb infection pathology and the role that regulation of neutrophil recruitment and response controls this effect.

#KStuberculosis24: kubeslab shares final keynote on how powerful imaging approaches can shed light on the migratory and inflammatory dynamics of different immune cells during infection.

Our research has been highlighted in an excellent article by Seattle Children's. Thanks very much to Colleen, Casey, and the marcomm team for your efforts: seattlechildrens.org/research/featu…

"I Survived" is a film by three high school learners from Khayelitsha about TB and stigma that delves into the complexities of tuberculosis, a disease that remains a persistent health crisis in South Africa. #TBawareness #Khayelitsha Watch full film here: youtu.be/GxNnpAsjk58?si…

Do you want to know how many #science faculty at research institutions are #depressed? Or #LGBTQ+? Or identify as #firstgen? This is the first study to document these hidden identities of science faculty nationally. lifescied.org/doi/10.1187/cb…

Ever wonder how Mycobacterium #tuberculosis deals with stressful environments? I'm pleased to share that in a second piece of good news this week, our recent work in collaboration with Ma Laboratory at CGIDR, Seattle Children's was published at Frontiers in Tuberculosis. 1/n frontiersin.org/journals/tuber…
