Breakthrough Study on Targeting Dormant Tuberculosis Cells

Recent Advances in Tuberculosis Research

Researchers at the University of Surrey have made significant strides in the fight against tuberculosis (TB). A new study published in Scientific Reports highlights the development of innovative drugs aimed at targeting dormant ‘zombie’ TB cells. These cells are a major challenge in treating tuberculosis, as they can evade conventional therapies.

This groundbreaking research brings us one step closer to eradicating TB, a disease that affects millions worldwide. The new drugs developed could potentially eliminate these dormant cells, thereby enhancing treatment efficacy. With ongoing efforts in this area, we can hope for a future where tuberculosis is no longer a public health threat.
