Tuberculosis in Brief
Tuberculosis, often abbreviated as TB, is a highly contagious infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It primarily affects the lungs but can also target other organs, leading to a wide range of symptoms and complications. TB spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes, releasing tiny respiratory droplets containing the bacteria, which can be inhaled by others. This ancient disease has a profound historical legacy, with evidence of TB infections dating back thousands of years. It is characterized by a persistent cough, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Left untreated, TB can be fatal. However, it can be cured and treated effectively with a combination of antibiotics over several months. TB remains a global health challenge, especially in low-income countries and among vulnerable populations. Efforts to combat TB include early diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and public health measures to prevent its spread. Research and ongoing medical innovations play a critical role in the fight against this enduring public health threat.

Tuberculosis and Its Relevant Aspects
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), whose pathogenic role was demonstrated in 1882 by the research conducted by Koch. TB is transmitted from person to person through the respiratory route, commonly affecting the lungs, but other tissues can also be damaged.

Tuberculosis
Dendritic cells are the principal antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in the host defense mechanism. An altered dendritic cell response increases the risk of susceptibility of infections, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb), and the survival of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Thus, an understanding of the intricate pathways involved in the dendritic cell response are needed to prevent co-infections and co-morbidities in individuals with TB and HIV

TUBB4A-related Leukodystrophy
TUBB4A-related leukodystrophy is a disorder that affects the nervous system. Leukodystrophies are conditions that involve abnormalities of the nervous system's white matter, which consists of nerve fibers covered by a fatty substance called myelin. Myelin insulates nerve fibers and promotes the rapid transmission of nerve impulses. In particular, TUBB4A-related leukodystrophy involves hypomyelination, which means that the nervous system has a reduced ability to form myelin. In some affected individuals, myelin may also break down, which is known as demyelination.
