Professor David Minnikin Memorial Lecture: An era of the mycobacterial cell wall lipid biomarkers
This paper is dedicated to the memory of Professor David Ernest Minnikin (1939–2021). David was one of the key scientists who pioneered the field of Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell envelope research for over half a century. From the classification, identification, and extraction of the unusual lipids of the mycobacterial cell wall, to exploiting them as characteristic lipid biomarkers for sensitive detection, his ideas enlightened a whole world of possibilities within the tuberculosis (TB) field. In addition, his definition of the intricate models now forms a key milestone in our understanding of the M. tuberculosis cell envelope and has resolved many unanswered questions on the evolution of M. tuberculosis.
期刊介绍:
Tuberculosis is a speciality journal focusing on basic experimental research on tuberculosis, notably on bacteriological, immunological and pathogenesis aspects of the disease. The journal publishes original research and reviews on the host response and immunology of tuberculosis and the molecular biology, genetics and physiology of the organism, however discourages submissions with a meta-analytical focus (for example, articles based on searches of published articles in public electronic databases, especially where there is lack of evidence of the personal involvement of authors in the generation of such material). We do not publish Clinical Case-Studies.
Areas on which submissions are welcomed include:
-Clinical TrialsDiagnostics-
Antimicrobial resistance-
Immunology-
Leprosy-
Microbiology, including microbial physiology-
Molecular epidemiology-
Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria-
Pathogenesis-
Pathology-
Vaccine development.
This Journal does not accept case-reports.
The resurgence of interest in tuberculosis has accelerated the pace of relevant research and Tuberculosis has grown with it, as the only journal dedicated to experimental biomedical research in tuberculosis.
