A computational model to understand the dynamics of tuberculosis lesions within the lungs

The researchers of the Experimental Tuberculosis Unit of the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), led by Pere-Joan Cardona, have published the first results of a computational model that aims to reproduce the dynamics of tuberculosis lesions in a virtual lung. The model has been developed within the 3Rs Program of the Centre for Comparative Medicine and Bioimaging (CMCiB) of the IGTP, supported by the "la Caixa" Foundation.
