Article Synopsis
- Type 2 diabetes (T2D) increases the risk of tuberculosis (TB), but the reasons for this connection are not fully understood.
- Research found that alveolar macrophages from T2D patients showed heightened Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) growth and altered immune responses compared to those without T2D.
- The study reveals important changes in immune cell functions and gene expression in T2D patients that may explain their increased vulnerability to more severe TB infections.
