She worked with

Dr. Shiloh and his
team currently are working to discover the human cell - surface receptors for
Mtb that are involved in the bacteria's M - cell translocation, as well as to determine the exact machinery used by the cell to move the bacteria from the surface to the bottom of the cell.
The research
team, led by Dr. Michael Shiloh, Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine and Microbiology at UT Southwestern, found that microfold cell (M - cell) translocation is a new and previously unknown mechanism by which
Mtb enters the body.
To tease out what the LucA protein does, VanderVen's
team created a novel LucA
Mtb mutant, which revealed that the protein encoded by the gene LucA is an integral membrane protein required for fatty acid and cholesterol uptake in
Mtb.
Although further studies are necessary, potential clinical applications of the
team's finding would involve developing methods or drugs that prevent
Mtb from entering M - cells.
