    A conserved mycobacterial nucleomodulin hijacks the host COMPASS complex to reprogram pro-inflammatory transcription and promote intracellular survival

    Liu Chen, Baojie Duan ... Aizhen Guo
    Mycobacterium tuberculosis deploys nucleomodulins to suppress COMPASS-dependent H3K4 methylation, dampening pro-inflammatory gene expression to enhance intracellular survival and uncovering an epigenetic immune-evasion strategy.

    Human genetic ancestry, Mycobacterium tuberculosis diversity, and tuberculosis disease severity in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

    Michaela Zwyer, Zhi Ming Xu ... Daniela Brites
    The severity of active tuberculosis in a high-burden population is not explained by host or pathogen genetic variation, suggesting a dominant role for social and environmental factors.

    4-Aminoquinolines block heme iron reactivity and interfere with artemisinin action

    Melissa Rosenthal, Daniel E Goldberg
    Chloroquine interferes with artemisinin activation, and such interactions should be considered when formulating antimalarial drug combinations.
