Our goal is to have 1000 SUFS Teach Ins across the US, by 9/30.

*GASP* 😮

We know, it's a big goal.

If you've received tax dollars for your science, you have a responsibility to inform *your* community what is at stake: public health, the economy, innovation, and America's global leadership.

Very excited for this story to be out!! Check out our dissection of how type I IFN promotes NET release, which contributes to Mtb pathogenesis and is associated with granuloma necrosis. Congratulations to all authors!! www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...
Type I IFN-mediated NET release promotes Mycobacterium tuberculosis replication and is associated with granuloma caseation
Sur Chowdhury et al. report that Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection results in the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) that promote Mtb replication and associate with tissue damage. Blocking NET release results in better control of Mtb replication, revealing a strategy for treating these deadly infections.
