Probing infectious disease by single-cell RNA sequencing: Progresses and perspectives

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2020
The increasing application of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology in life science and biomedical research has significantly increased our understanding of the cellular heterogeneities in immunology, oncology and developmental biology.

T Cells Primed by Live Mycobacteria Versus a Tuberculosis Subunit Vaccine Exhibit Distinct Functional Properties

EBioMedicine, 2018
Despite inducing strong T cell responses, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection fails to elicit protective immune memory. As such latently infected or successfully treated Tuberculosis (TB) patients are not protected against recurrent disease. Here,
