Modeling Mycobacterium tuberculosis early granuloma formation in experimental human lung tissue

Modeling Mycobacterium tuberculosis early granuloma formation in experimental human lung tissue

The widely used animal models for tuberculosis (TB) display fundamental differences from human TB. Therefore, a validated model that recapitulates human lung TB is attractive for TB research. Here, we describe a unique method for establishment of TB infection in an experimental human lung tissue mod...
