Interferon-β Coordinates Epithelial Immune Networks and Fibrotic Responses During <i>Chlamydia muridarum</i> Infection

2026-03-23

Abstract excerpt

Chlamydia trachomatis infection is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection worldwide and a leading cause of inflammatory reproductive tract disease and infertility in women. Much of the tissue damage associated with genital chlamydial infection arises from host inflammatory responses rather than direct bacterial cytotoxicity. Epithelial cells lining the female reproductive tract represent the prim...
