Abstract

In this work Beumer, Clevers, and colleagues review the current state of affairs of ASC- and iPSC-derived organoids in fighting the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. To limit the impact of this pandemic, rapid scientific insights are crucial. Organoids closely resemble human physiology, and are emerging for studying viral biology and to identify potential treatments for current and future pandemics.
