    Adult stem cell-derived complete lung organoid models emulate lung disease in COVID-19

    Courtney Tindle, MacKenzie Fuller ... Soumita Das
    An integrated stem cell-based disease modeling and computational approach demonstrates how proximal airway epithelium is critical for SARS-CoV-2 infectivity and distal alveolar cells are critical for simulating the host responses.
