despite the persistent presence of the bacteria. Researchers based in India have discovered a new mechanism that could explain how _M. tuberculosis_ can persist in the face of potent immune

responses. They say the bug's trick is to recruit mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to the site of infection, where these cells suppress anti-mycobacterial T cell responses (_Proc. Natl

Acad. Sci. USA_, 6 Dec 2010). This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution Subscribe to this journal Receive 12 print
