How much do you really know about Tuberculosis, otherwise commonly called TB? The University of Michigan Department of Engineering (friendly rival to my home U of Illinois) has put out a very accessible animated tutorial so you can learn more.
Check it out:
This video is included as a comprehensive article entitled ?Peering into the black box of Tuberculosis? discussing TB as a worldwide problem and what some U-M researchers are doing to help understand the disease more fully.
Granulomas containing macrophages (red and green) and other white blood cells (blue).
If you are completely lost as to what a macrophage is, much less a granuloma, allow me to turn your attention to one of the videos in my series, Blood Cell Bakery, where I use expertly decorated cookies to demonstrate all of the different types of blood cells in their morphology (appearance) and function. This one discusses monocytes and their differentiated state, the macrophage.
