Newly Identified Mechanism Helps Explain Why People of African Descent Are More Vulnerable to Tuberculosis
A team of scientists has identified a cellular mechanism that may help explain the puzzle of why people of African descent are more susceptible to tuberculosis infection and why, once infected, they develop more severe states of the disease than whites.   view more (2006-02-27)

Mystery solved: Gold's power against autoimmune diseases defined
