Human Cardiac Organoids to Model COVID-19 Cytokine Storm Induced Cardiac Injuries
2022-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Acute cardiac injuries occur in 20-25% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Despite urgent needs, there is a lack of 3D organotypic models of COVID-19 hearts for mechanistic studies and drug testing. Herein, we demonstrate that human cardiac organoids (hCOs) are a viable platform to model the cardiac injuries caused by COVID-19 hyperinflammation. As IL-1βis an upstream cytokine and a core COVID-19 signature cytokine...
