This study shows that elderly lung mucosa alters Mycobacterium tuberculosis gene expression, enhancing its metabolic adaptation and survival in alveolar epithelial cells.

This study shows mitochondrial transplantation enhances CD4+ T cell function in elderly individuals and mice infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis by reducing exhaustion and senescence.

This study shows that Mycobacterium tuberculosis alters its cell envelope gene expression in response to human alveolar lining fluid, with differences observed between young and elderly donors.

This study identifies neutrophils in elderly lungs as contributors to a dysregulated environment, providing a proteomic baseline for future research on respiratory infection susceptibility.
