A population model capturing dynamics of tuberculosis granulomas predicts host infection outcomes by Chang Gong, Jennifer J. Linderman, Denise Kirschner

“…The model also predicts a dual role for granuloma development in LNs during Mtb infection: in early phases of infection granulomas suppress infection by providing additional antigens to the site of immune priming; however, this induces a more rapid reactivation at later stages by disrupting immune responses. …”
