Hamster organotypic modeling of SARS-CoV-2 lung and brainstem infection

Here, Ferren et al. isolate Syrian hamster brainstem and lung tissue to establish ex vivo culture systems to study SARS-CoV-2 local viral tropism, immune response and tissue pathology. Further, they provide evidence that these systems can be used for screening of anti-viral compounds.
