Protein-level mapping reveals novel Immune State Types (ISTs) associated with Chlamydia trachomatis infection, inflammatory remodeling, and scarring in trachoma-hyperendemic Amhara Ethiopia

The paper identifies four immune state types (ISTs) in trachoma patients using protein profiling, linking them to infection, inflammation, and scarring outcomes.

Ocular community state types reveal distinct microbial compositions among microbiomes with implications for trachoma control

The paper identifies ocular microbiome community state types (CSTs) in Ethiopian villagers, linking specific microbial compositions to trachoma prevalence and potential therapeutic implications.
