Tuberculosis : An international study conducted by the teams of Drs. Isabelle Maridonneau-Parini and Olivier Neyrolles at the Institute of Pharmacology and Structural Biology reports the identification and characterization of an anti-inflammatory human monocyte population, shaped by the infectious microenvironment, which favors the resilience of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is deleterious to the host immune response against this intracellular pathogen.
The results of this study are published in the international peer-reviewed journal Cell Research.
