Phage Therapy as a Promising Approach for Tuberculosis Treatment: A Comprehensive Study
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of Tuberculosis (TB), is a global health concern with significant morbidity and mortality rates. Traditional antibiotics are increasingly ineffective against multidrug-resistant TB. In this context, alternative therapies are urgently needed.
Transcription Readthrough in Non-Pathological Conditions
Readthrough transcription is linked to cellular stress responses but is often overlooked in normal physiological conditions. This study dives into its prevalence across human tissues, offering insights into its occurrence in non-pathological contexts.
