Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the novel severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 is currently spreading throughout the world with a high rate of infection and mortality and poses a huge threat to global public health. COVID-19 primarily manifests as hypoxic respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome, which can lead to multiple organ failure. Despite advances in the supportive care approaches, there is still a lack of clinically effective therapies, and there is an urgent need to develop novel strategies to fight this disease. Currently, stem cell therapy and stem cell-derived organoid models have received extensive attention as a new treatment and research method for COVID-19. Here, we discuss how stem cells play a role in the battle against COVID-19 and present a systematic review and prospective of the study on stem cell treatment and organoid models of COVID-19, which provides a reference for the effective control of the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide.
新型严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 引起的 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 目前在全球范围内广泛传播,感染率和死亡率高,对全球公共卫生构成巨大威胁。COVID-19 主要表现为低氧性呼吸衰竭和急性呼吸窘迫综合征,可导致多器官衰竭。尽管支持治疗方法有所进展,但仍缺乏临床有效的治疗方法,迫切需要开发新的策略来对抗这种疾病。目前,干细胞治疗和干细胞衍生的类器官模型作为 COVID-19 的一种新的治疗和研究方法受到广泛关注。在这里,我们讨论了干细胞在对抗 COVID-19 中的作用,并对 COVID-19 的干细胞治疗和类器官模型的研究进行了系统的回顾和展望,为全球 COVID-19 大流行的有效控制提供了参考。
