Research Article: Insufficient CXCL13 secretion in leprosy foamy macrophages attenuates lymphocyte recruitment and antimicrobial protein production
Abstract:
Background: Pathogens trigger metabolic reprogramming, leading to the formation of foamy macrophages (FMs). This process provides a favorable environment for bacterial proliferation and enables bacteria to evade immune killing.
Introduction:
Objective: To elucidate the mechanisms by which pathogens escape immune surveillance and elimination via the formation of FMs.
