Researchers are rethinking how we study tuberculosis and the results are surprising. A new “breathing” lung-on-a-chip model, built with multiple human lung and immune cell types, mimics real respiration and reveals how TB behaves in its earliest stages.
In a recent study, the chip not only recreated key features of infection but also showed how coordinated cell interactions may help limit disease—offering new insight into TB progression and potential treatment strategies: https://mdsc.pe/4sCMYtA
