shocking statistics, but only limited public outcry.. We should be more vocal about this tb.impactcounter.com

So we blocked IFNγ in Mtb infected macaques and….the animals were fine. Turns out mice overestimate the importance of IFNγ in TB because IFNγ drives iNOS in mice but not macaques or humans. This means we don’t actually know how T cells suppress Mtb. rdcu.be/ff9GB #tuberculosis #immunology

I, personally, would like to be on the dark side of the Moon too.

Our @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social are here every Thursday afternoon to map out strategies for taking action and answer your top-ranked questions.

When it rains myco publications in pours myco publications! Now out in PNAS tinyurl.com/2a6833n4 When @zestytoast.bsky.social accidentally isolated the long-chain acyl-CoA carboxylase, we quickly realized we were looking at a fascinating machine essential for building the mycobacterial membrane...

I’m pleased 🤗 to share our new preprint exploring the mode of action and resistance of the antitubercular drug pyrazinamide (PZA) 💊 Thanks to everyone who have participated 🙌 We hope these findings will help the fight against drug resistance in tuberculosis. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We are looking to hire post-docs to work on T cell responses to M. tuberculosis infection using murine and NHP models. If you know T cells and wanna work on the top global infectious killer check us out. BSL3 experience not required. The NIH intramural program in Bethesda MD is an amazing place!

Super useful - thanks all!! Just spent three hours playing with this - really nice to have that data accessible!!

‼️ Save the date! ‼️ Tuberculosis: Understanding the Disease Across Scales Keystone 2026 on March 23-26 in Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦 Very excited to organise this meeting with Digby, Bree and Margarida Short Talk Abstract Deadline: Nov. 24, 2025 www.keystonesymposia.org/conferences/...

Today, Nobel laureate (and former NIGMS Advisory Council member) gave an NIH-wide lecture. She enthusiastically signed the #BethesdaDeclaration. She was introduced by NIH Director Bhattacharya...(likely slightly awkward) 1/2
