2014
A recent study has found that pathogenic mycobacteria employ two structurally related cell wall lipids to coordinately recruit macrophages permissive to infection and intracellular replication, all the while inhibiting the recruitment of macrophages with enhanced bactericidal activity. These findings suggest a novel mechanism of immune evasion.
