New TB clinical trial data-sharing platform available for researchers (post)
TUCSON, Ariz., April 18, 2016 — The Critical Path Institute (C-Path), the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR), TB Alliance, and St. George’s, University of London, are pleased to announce the launch of the TB-Platform for Aggregation of Clinical TB Studies (TB-PACTS).
Tuberculosis bacteria build 'edible' havens in immune cells (post)
Bacteria that cause tuberculosis trick immune cells meant to destroy them into hiding and feeding them instead. This is the result of a study led by researchers from NYU Langone Medical Center and published online April 18 in Nature Immunology.
A faster and cheaper way to produce new antibiotics (post)
A novel way of synthesising a promising new antibiotic has been identified by scientists at the University of Bristol. By expressing the genes involved in the production of pleuromutilin in a different type of fungus, the researchers were able to increase production by more than 2,000 per cent.
Scientists identify new route of TB transmission (post)
Washington, DC - May 10, 2016 - Scientists have discovered a new species of bacteria, Mycobacterium mungi, that causes tuberculosis (TB) and is transmitted through the skin and nose of banded mongoose in Northern Botswana. The findings, published May 10 in the journal mBio, have radically changed scientists understanding of how tuberculosis can be transmitted.
A new platform for discovering antibiotics (post)
Harvard researchers have created a greatly simplified platform for discovering antibiotics that may help solve the rising crisis of resistance to such helpful drugs.
Tuberculosis drug may also target visceral leishmaniasis (post)
A drug that has already been approved for treatment of tuberculosis could also be a powerful tool to combat another of the developing world’s major diseases, researchers at the University of Dundee have found.
Postdoctoral fellowships in TB research (post)
Two new postdoctoral fellowship positions in TB research are being offered by McGill International TB Centre, McGill University & McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, Canada.
Speeding up drug discovery to fight tuberculosis (post)
Seattle researchers created a genetic blueprint of the cunning tuberculosis bacteria, then used it to predict and rank potential drug targets.
Enzyme structure potential catalyst for TB drug discovery (post)
Associate Investigator Professor Kurt Krause and colleagues have unlocked a potential catalyst for the development of new tuberculosis drug targets after determining the structure of an essential enzyme in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Modeling the correct doses for disease-fighting drugs (post)
In treating diseases with drugs, dosing is critical; too little is ineffective, while too much can be lethal. Colorado State University’s Brad Reisfeld takes a mathematical approach to achieving optimal dosing for various drugs.
