Abstract:

Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), remains one of the world’s most significant infectious diseases, yet the mechanisms underlying MTB-host interactions are not fully understood. Animal models and 3D cell models offer a comprehensive and intricate experimental platform that facilitates the simulation of various aspects of tuberculosis pathophysiology. This review examines the application of these models in tuberculosis research, aiming to pave the way for advances in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
