Microbial volatile communication in human organotypic lung models

There is a need for improved in vitro models of host-microbe interactions in the lung. Here, Barkal et al. present a microscale organotypic model of the human bronchiole for studying pulmonary infection, including volatile compound communication between microbial populations and host cells.
