Clinical testing of drug treatment shortening in patients with TB using PET/CT imaging of lung lesions Four months instead of the standard 6 months of drug therapy of less extensive tuberculosis disease had a higher risk of relapse.

A shortened, four-month course of tuberculosis drug therapy has a higher risk of relapse linked to active lung cavities compared to a standard 6-month protocol, shows a new #ScienceTranslationalMedicine clinical trial of patients in South Africa and China. https://scim.ag/4jv4oo5

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people donโ€™t want to โ€œrunโ€ a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

The Bryson Lab | Vaccine Development & Research at MIT Developing effective accessible vaccines to end tuberculosis worldwide. Combining immunoengineering, molecular microbiology & systems biology at MIT.

Two pieces of fun news:

1. We've launched a new website for our lab: www.brysonlab.org

2. With some new funding, we are recruiting for new postdocs and graduate students. The projects build upon our previous studies of antigen presentation and phagosome biology and go into new exciting dimensions!

Excited to share Wendy Le Mouรซllicโ€™s PhD work, now published in @pnas.org!
It reveals that M. tuberculosis depends on inorganic sulfate import to survive inside host cellsโ€”fueling essential processes such as redox balance and stress resistance.
Huge congrats to Wendy & colleagues!

IPBS researchers created LiveLung-TB, a BSL-3 imaging platform that visualizes real-time immune responses in Mtb-infected lungs. They found most CD4 T cells fail to reach infected cells, revealing physical barriers that limit TB immunityโ€”a new window into host-pathogen dynamics! ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿซ
