Abstract

Zhao and colleagues modified the composition of differentiation medium and demonstrated that the optimized medium improves the maturation state of human intestinal organoids. Two coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV, and two enteroviruses, EV-A71 and CVA16, reveal distinct profiles of virus-host interaction in the optimized intestinal organoids. Overall, human intestinal organoids adequately recapitulate disparate pathogenicity of coronaviruses and enteroviruses in the human intestines.
