Scientists worldwide struggle to identify suitable animal models to study SARS-CoV-2 infections. Interspecies-related differences, such as host specificity, divergent immune responses, or the unavailability of species-specific reagents hamper the research. Human-based models, such as micro-engineered multi-organs-on-chip, may hold the solution.
世界各地的科学家都在努力寻找合适的动物模型来研究新冠病毒感染。种间差异，如宿主特异性、不同的免疫反应或缺乏物种特异性试剂，阻碍了这项研究。基于人类的模型，如微工程多器官芯片，可能是解决办法。
