Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causal agent of this disease, invades macrophages and can replicate inside them. Because invasion of macrophages is a critical step for establishing a mycobacterial infection, there is much interest in understanding the mechanisms for M. tuberculosis entry into macrophages.
January 24, 2016. Winter Storm Jonas did not spare Boston its icy wrath, but the Massachusetts city definitely saw a dulled-down version of the blizzard. According to numbers from the National Weather Service, 8.2 inches fell in Boston, 7 inches accumulated in South Boston and 6.1 inches were dropped in the vicinity of Logan International Airport.
Boston is in the 6-12 inch range, a bit larger range than I like to put there, but small bands of heavy snow during these storms can make a huge difference over a few miles, thus my reasoning. If I had to pick one snow number for Bostonâs Logan Airport to officially have at the end of the storm, it would be in the middle at 9 inches.
