Adaptation to macrophage killing by Talaromyces marneffei
The pathogenicity of T. marneffei depends on the ability of the fungus to survive the killing process and replicate inside the host macrophage cells. This paper summarizes factors relating to the stress responses that contribute to the intracellular survival of T. marneffei
New cell reservoir for HIV uncovered
Researchers have demonstrated in mouse models that HIV can persist in infected macrophages despite antiretroviral therapy, suggesting a new cell reservoir.
