Article Synopsis
- * RSTR exhibit a specific expansion of T cells, particularly T17 and regulatory T cell-like programs, which are more pronounced than in individuals with latent Mtb infections.
- * The study links these T17 cell-like responses to a lower risk of developing active tuberculosis in South African adolescents, proposing that RSTR may have unique mechanisms to control Mtb following exposure.
Global and even national genome surveillance approaches do not provide the resolution necessary for rapid and accurate direct response by local public health authorities. Hence, a regional network of microbiological laboratories in collaboration with the health departments of all districts of the German federal state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (M-V) was formed to investigate the regional molecular epidemiology of circulating SARS-CoV-2 lineages between 11/2020 and 03/2022. More than 4750 samples from all M-V counties were sequenced using Illumina and Nanopore technologies.

Altered metabolism of sphingolipids (SLs) has been linked to development of obesity, type 1 diabetes and T2D (refs.
