QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute Researchers Provide Details of New Studies and Findings in the Area of Visceral Leishmaniasis (The role of CD4+ T cells in visceral leishmaniasis; new and emerging roles for NKG7 and TGFb).

A recent study conducted by researchers at the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Brisbane, Australia, explores the role of CD4+ T cells in visceral leishmaniasis, a neglected tropical disease caused by protozoan parasites. The study highlights the importance of CD4+ T cells in controlling the parasites and discusses the impact of two specific molecules, NKG7 and TGFb, on CD4+ T cell functions and immune responses during the infection. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the disease and potential treatment options. The full study can be accessed for free online. [Extracted from the article]
