![](local/data/caches/images/scaled/img_00034801_300x300.png)
In this video, from Digital World Biology, Dr. Tavasa discusses research on tuberculosis (TB) and the development of nanobodies as potential diagnostic and therapeutic tools. During the video, Dr. Tavasa explains the challenges of TB treatment, especially drug resistance, and the limitations of existing diagnostics. The properties of nanobodies, their ability to target specific TB virulence factors, and their potential to revolutionize TB treatment and diagnosis are highlighted. The process of generating nanobodies in alpacas and their application in TB research, including their use in detecting TB antigens within granulomas, is discussed. Tavasa also discusses broader applications of nanobodies in other diseases, such as cancer.
This video runs 1:02:02 minutes in length.
