The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is caused by infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2),which is spread primary via respiratory droplets and infects the lungs.Currently widely used cell lines and animals are unable to accurately mimic human physiological conditions because of the abnormal status of cell lines (transformed or cancer cells) and species differences between ani-mals and humans.Organoids are stem cell-derived self-organized three-dimensional culture in vitro and model the physiological conditions of natural organs.Here we showed that SARS-CoV-2 infected and extensively replicated in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs)-derived lung organoids,including airway and alveolar organoids which covered the complete infection and spread route for SARS-CoV-2 within lungs.The infected cells were ciliated,club,and alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells,which were sequentially located from the proximal to the distal airway and terminal alveoli,respectively.Addi-tionally,RNA-seq revealed early cell response to virus infection including an unexpected downregulation of the metabolic processes,especially lipid metabolism,in addition to the well-known upregulation of immune response.Further,Remdesivir and a human neutralizing antibody potently inhibited SARS-CoV-2 replication in lung organoids.Therefore,human lung organoids can serve as a pathophysiological model to investigate the underlying mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 infection and to discover and test therapeutic drugs for COVID-19.

Oxygen,iron,and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs;fatty acids containing more than one double bond) are all bene-ficial to our cellular lives.Incorporation of these components into cellular processes,however,comes at a cost:the bis-allylic structure of P
Background:Commitment to a new cell cycle is controlled by a number of cellular signals.Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways,which transduce multiple extracellular cues,have been shown to be interconnected with the cell cycle and can modulate
The evaluation of simulated disasters (for example,exercises) and real responses are important activities.However,little attention has been paid to how reports documenting such events should be written.A key issue is how to make them as useful as possible
Background:The core concept of cell engineering is the use of synthetic biological methods to engineer and design genetically modified cells with specific functions,which has revolutionized the biotechnology industry and cell therapy.Implanted cells play
