Bats are known as natural hosts for highly pathogenic viruses such as MERS- and SARS-related coronaviruses, as well as the ...

Until now, most research has used either generalized cell samples or organoids made from just one type of tropical fruit bat, and only from a single organ. But a breakthrough has arrived: a research ...

Researchers were able to test how viruses replicate differently across various bat species and organs using the new organoid ...

Bats are known as natural hosts for highly pathogenic viruses such as MERS- and SARS-related coronaviruses, as well as the Marburg and Nipah viruses. In contrast to the severe and often fatal disease ...

Scientists create the world’s largest bat organoid platform—offering new tools to study viruses and boost pandemic ...

These tests gave more reliable results than traditional lab methods. This bat organoid platform marks a new era for infectious disease research, making it possible to safely and effectively study ...

A domestic team of scientists has developed the world's largest platform for bat-like organoid research to analyze the ...
