The #DutchPerspectiveOnTB was a great event with a lot of exciting science and interactions in the talks and the poster session. Thank you to the organizers Annemarie Meijer, Matthias Barz, Simone Joosten and Masa Zupcic for putting together an amazing event www.universiteitleid...
Great lecture by David Russell at #DutchPerspectiveOnTB. He talked about the challenge of transfering in vitro findings to in vivo activity in #tuberculosis research. He discussed persisters as well as resistant and tolerant cells as one main challenge. (1/2) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Great talk by Annemieke Geluk at #DutchPerspectiveOnTB. She talked about using (multiple) host biomarkers for rapid diagnosis of leprosy. Exciting insights into field-applicable, quantitative lateral flow assays based on up-converting reporter particles. idpjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.....
Amazing flash talk session at #DutchPerspectiveOnTB with diverse #tuberculosis related topics including granuloma imaging, #vaccine development, electron transport chain inhibition, membrane damage, #metabolomics, immune response and mycolic acid synthesis. www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/events/20...
Interesting talk by Robin van den Biggelaar at #DutchPerspectiveOnTB. He talked about the perspective of developing host-directed therapies for #tuberculosis. Exciting insights into the importance of Ca2+ homeostasis, of lipid metabolism and of cationic amphiphilic drugs in this context.
Insightful talk by Nicole van der Wel at #DutchPerspectiveOnTB. She talked about the importance of lipid-loaded, foamy macrophages as a hallmark of #tuberculosis infections. Great insights into the importance of the terpene nucleoside 1-tuberculosinyladenosine (1-TbAd) www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Great talk by @edithhouben.bsky.social at the #DutchPerspectiveOnTB symposium. She talked about the importance of Type VII secretion systems for #tuberculosis including exciting structural data and data on their importance for virulence in the ESX-1 system. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Annemarie Meijer opens the #DutchPerspectiveOnTB symposium. She gave an overview of the research activities on #tuberculosis at @leidenscience.bsky.social of @unileiden.bsky.social especially within the #MycobacteriumXL consortium. www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/research/...
