Article Synopsis
- Extracellular vesicles (EVs), like exosomes, are important for how cells communicate and control processes in other cells.
- The study focused on Mycobacterium abscessus, a non-tuberculous bacterium that can lead to serious lung infections, particularly in individuals with pre-existing lung issues.
- Researchers found that infection with M. abscessus increased the release of specific exosomes from mouse macrophages, which affected protein content and promoted bacterial growth while lowering glutamine levels, suggesting that these exosomes hinder macrophage ability to kill the bacteria by eliminating glutamine.
