TB

A multicountry study shows that a point-of-care TB test performs comparably to established molecular diagnostics while offering a simpler workflow and faster turnaround.

While faster reviews could bring life-saving treatments to patients sooner, compressed timelines could also limit regulatory scrutiny and strain FDA resources.

A century after the first vaccine, tuberculosis still claims over a million lives a year, but promising research could change the story.

Researchers are developing new, portable breath analysis tools to diagnose tuberculosis and other diseases, making screenings more accessible in remote areas and beyond.

Increasing cAMP production blocks tuberculosis’ cholesterol metabolism, impairing its pathogenesis in mice.
