THE DIAGNOSIS OF PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS [PDF]
This may be a matter of considerable ease, or one of extreme difficulty, depending on the stage of the disease and the nature of the pathologic conditions. Let us first consider its diagnosis at an early stage. Tuberculosis is an infection, and as is the rule with infections, it occasions a rise of temperature even at its incipiency. Except very rarely,

Mitochondrial Regulation of CD8⁺ T Cells: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Modulation
This article comprehensively explores the pivotal role of mitochondrial function in CD8⁺ T cell immunotherapy. It highlights how mitochondrial dynamics regulate T cell activation, differentiation, and persistence, and how mitochondrial dysfunction leads to immune exhaustion and impaired antitumor/antiviral responses.

A Novel nor@DHB Matrix for Direct Microbial Analysis in Lung Cancer Tissues
Integrated matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry workflow quantifies intratumoral microbes in lung cancer through lipopolysaccharide/lipid A extraction from biopsies. The novel ionic matrix called norharmane conjugated to 2,5‐dihydroxybenzoic acid enhances lipid A ionization, enabling direct detection of bacterial genera ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis suppresses host antimicrobial peptides by dehydrogenating L-alanine
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), ancient scavengers of bacteria, are very poorly induced in macrophages infected by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis), but the underlying mechanism remains unknown.
