Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cell type in the blood and constitute the first line
of defense against invading pathogens. Despite their important role in many diseases, they …

BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are key regulators of tissue destruction in
tuberculosis (TB) and may be targets for host-directed therapy. We conducted a phase II …

Tuberculous meningitis (TB meningitis) is the most severe form of tuberculosis (TB),
requiring 12 months of multidrug treatment for cure, and is associated with high morbidity …

Neutrophils readily infiltrate infection foci, phagocytose and usually destroy microbes. In
tuberculosis (TB), a chronic pulmonary infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis …

Neutrophils are key effector cells of innate immunity, rapidly recruited to defend the host
against invading pathogens. Neutrophils may kill pathogens intracellularly, following …

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) remains as a leading killer
among infectious diseases worldwide. The nature of the host immune response dictates …

Neutrophils are front line cells in immunity that quickly recognize and eliminate pathogens,
relying mainly on glycolysis to exert their killing functions. Even though investigations into …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a highly dynamic and complex network structure, which
exists in almost all tissues and is the microenvironment that cells rely on for survival. ECM …
