Essential Roles of PPARs in Lipid Metabolism during Mycobacterial Infection

Essential Roles of PPARs in Lipid Metabolism during Mycobacterial Infection

The mycobacterial cell wall is composed of large amounts of lipids with varying moieties. Some mycobacteria species hijack host cells and promote lipid droplet accumulation to build the cellular environment essential for their intracellular survival. Thus, lipids are thought to be important for myco...
