How METTL14 and YTHDF1 help restore cell cleaning to reduce tuberculosis bacteria survival

Updated

Abstract

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) can persist within macrophages, complicating tuberculosis (TB) eradication efforts.

  • Tuberculosis remains a significant global infectious disease.
  • The ability of Mtb to survive in macrophages poses a major challenge to treatment.
  • Autophagy plays an important role in the host's defense against Mtb.
  • The regulation of autophagy through epitranscriptomic mechanisms is not well understood.
