Now, a report in the July 10 issue of the journal Cell, a Cell Press publication, offers new insight into the bugs' talent for meager living. http://www.huliq.com/11/83309/discovery-can-lead-new-tuberculosis-drugs#comments Health tuberculosis Tuberculosis treatment Thu, 09 Jul 2009 14:15:59 -0500 harminka 83309 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82918/why-hiv-patients-are-more-susceptible-tb-infection A team of Harvard scientists has taken an important first step toward the development of new treatments to help people with HIV battle Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) infection. In their report, they describe how HIV interferes with the cellular and molecular mechanisms used by the lungs to fight TB infection. This information is crucial for researchers developing treatments to help people with HIV prevent or recover from TB infection. http://www.huliq.com/11/82918/why-hiv-patients-are-more-susceptible-tb-infection#comments Health HIV patients tuberculosis tuberculosis infection Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:43:40 -0500 harminka 82918 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/81260/mycobacterium-tuberculosis-can-evade-immune-response Current research suggests that Mycobacterium tuberculosis can evade the immune response.
