Regulation of inflammation by platelets in tuberculosis

2017-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Introduction: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) infection, causing tuberculosis (TB), kills more people than any other pathogen in the world. Innate immune cells are stimulated by M.tb antigens to result in an inflammatory and tissue-degrading phenotype associated with TB transmission, morbidity and mortality. Platelets are known to interact with the innate immune system and regulate matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)...
