Elimination of senescent cells with senolytic host-directed therapy reduces tuberculosis progression in mice
2025-03-28
Abstract excerpt
By eliciting lung necrosis, which enhances aerosol transmission, Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ) sustains its long-term survival as a human pathogen. In studying the human-like necrotic granuloma lesions characteristic of Mtb -infected B6.Sst1S mice, we found that lung myeloid cells display elevated senescence markers: cell cycle arrest proteins p21 and p16, the DNA damage marker γH2A.X, senescence-associat...
