Spotlight on Mycobacteria and dendritic cells: will novel targets to fight tuberculosis emerge?

abstract：:Hypoxic microenvironment plays an important role in determining stem cell fates. However, it is controversial to which direction between self-renewal and differentiation the hypoxia drives the stem cells. Here, we investigated whether a short exposure to hypoxia (termed 'hypoxic-priming') efficiently directed and prom...
