The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic underscores the threat posed by newly emerging viruses. Understanding the biology of novel viruses rests in large part on in vitro models that allow viral replication. Human and animal organoids are now proving their value as an experimental virology platform.
新型冠状病毒病-19(COVID-19)大流行突显了新出现病毒带来的威胁。了解新型病毒的生物学特性在很大程度上依赖于允许病毒复制的体外模型。人类和动物类器官正在证明它们是一种有价值的实验病毒学平台。
