Sputum or blood eosinophil association with clinical measures of COPD severity in the SPIROMICS cohort

The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, 2017
Background Eosinophils in blood and sputum in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been associated with more frequent exacerbations, lower lung function, and corticosteroid responsiveness. We hypothesized increased eosinophils are associated

Redefining Therapies for Drug‐Resistant Tuberculosis: Synergistic Effects of Antimicrobial Peptides, Nanotechnology, and Computational Design

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptide (AMP)‐loaded nanocarriers provide a multifunctional strategy to combat drug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. By enhancing intracellular delivery, bypassing efflux pumps, and disrupting bacterial membranes, this platform restores phagolysosome fusion and macrophage function.

Influence of Stress and Antibiotic Resistance on Cell-Length Distribution in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Clinical Isolates

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Mycobacterial cellular variations in growth and division increase heterogeneity in cell length, possibly contributing to cell-to-cell variation in host and antibiotic stress tolerance. This may be one of the factors influencing Mycobacterium tuberculosis
