Here we review the emerging roles of complex organoids in the study of SARS-CoV-2 infection, modelling of COVID-19 disease pathology and in drug, antibody and vaccine development. We discuss opportunities for COVID-19 research and remaining challenges in the application of organoids.}, year = {2021}, journal = {Nature Cell Biology}, volume = {23}, pages = {822-833}, month = {2021-08}, issn = {1476-4679}, url = {https://www.nature.com/articles/s41556-021-00721-x}, doi = {10.1038/s41556-021-00721-x}, language = {en}, }
