MicroRNA-325-3p Facilitates Immune Escape of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Mycobacterium tuberculosis</named-content> through Targeting LNX1 via NEK6 Accumulation to Promote Anti-Apoptotic STAT3 Signaling
ABSTRACT Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that poses threats to the public. M. tuberculosis survives in macrophages by escaping from immune surveillance and clearance, which exacerbates the bacterial proliferation. However, the molecular mechanisms of t...
