DOI: 10.1002/1873-3468.13998
Abstract: The tuberculous granuloma is a compact aggregate of dormant bacteria encapsulated by host macrophages. It is commonly regarded as a product of the host defense designed to isolate infectious mycobacteria. This work demonstrates that exposure… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00415-019-09478-8
Abstract: Positional vertigo and nystagmus may occur in association with central as well as peripheral vestibular lesions. Differentiation of central from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is important due to its potentially grave underlying pathology in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.micpath.2019.03.041
Abstract: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has the extraordinary ability to persist for decades within granulomas in the human host. These histopathological structures involved in both protection and pathogenesis, are subject to various influences from the host systemically… read more here.

DOI: 10.1146/annurev-immunol-093019-125148
Abstract: Pulmonary granulomas are widely considered the epicenters of the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB). Recent animal studies have revealed factors that either promote or restrict TB immunity within… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.820134
Abstract: The defining pathology of tuberculosis is the granuloma, an organized structure derived from host immune cells that surrounds infecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis. As the location of much of the bacteria in the infected host, the granuloma… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.804838
Abstract: Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, which claims hundreds of thousands of lives each year, is typically characterized by the formation of tuberculous granulomas — the histopathological hallmark of tuberculosis (TB). Our knowledge of granulomas, which comprise a… read more here.
