Published in: mSphere (2021)

Sumanta K. Naik works in the tuberculosis field, with a specific interest in the host immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. In this mSphere of Influence article, he reflects on how the paper "IRGM1 links mitochondrial quality control to autoimmunity" by Prashant Rai et al. (Nat Immunol, 22:312-321, 2021, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41590-020-00859-0) impacted his research by revealing new roles for Irgm1 in immune responses.
