Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a 3D model of the lung to study tuberculosis (TB) infection.
This innovative model mimics the real lung environment, allowing researchers to better understand how TB spreads and test potential treatments.

✅ Key points:
👉 3D vs. 2D: The new model is more accurate than previous 2D models, providing a realistic environment for studying TB.
👉 Collagen Power: Made of collagen (a key component of lung tissue), the model supports healthy cell growth for weeks.
👉 Drug Testing Success: Researchers have already successfully tested the TB drug pyrazinamide in this model.
👉 Future Hope: This technology could revolutionize TB research and lead to more effective treatments.
