Human Alveolar Macrophage Function is Impaired in Tuberculosis Contacts With Diabetes
2024-11-28
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Type 2 diabetes (T2D) increases susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB) with the underlying mechanisms remaining unknown. To determine whether immune dysfunction in the lung contributes to TB susceptibility, we obtained paired human alveolar macrophages (HAMs) and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) from TB-exposed individuals with/without T2D. Upon infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis...
