Excited to share our new study showing that targeting the lung innate pathways can improve vaccine-induced immunity against TB- Congrats to Mushtaq Ahmed and co-authors on getting this published. journals.asm.org/doi/full/10....

Targeting the lung innate pathways during tuberculosis can improve vaccine-induced protection via Th17 responses in diversity outbred mice | mBio

Bacille Calmette Guerin (BCG) vaccination in genetically diverse outbred (DO) mice provides significant protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) challenge. This protection induced pathways ...

Just out - our new study showing a role for mast cells in driving pathology during TB. Congrats to first authors Ananya Gupta and Vibha Taneja. Well done! elifesciences.org/articles/102...

Mast cells promote pathology and susceptibility in tuberculosis

Conserved mast-cell activation, marked by elevated protease expression, aligns with progressive tuberculosis across human, macaque, and murine models.

Welcome back - I’ve had no one to troll about TB!

Dear #microbiology and #immunology community- I took a break from social media after I deleted my Twitter account, but am back here. Please help me rebuild my community by following me and amplifying this message- I will follow you back. Thank you and I look forward to our many interactions!

Thank you @oneyrolles.bsky.social! I missed all of our interactions and look forward to connecting with many of you again!
