This study identifies IL-17 and COX2 as negative regulators of protective immunity in tuberculosis, showing that Ly6G+ granulocytes are a major source of IL-17 and their inhibition reduces bacterial burden and pathology.

This study shows Mtb induces PPARγ in hepatocytes to create lipid droplets and drug-tolerant environments, contributing to systemic pathogenicity and metabolic impairments during TB infection.

This study identifies a mitochondrial quality control mechanism that reverses phagosome maturation arrest caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis through RAB7 recruitment and lysosomal targeting.
