Generation of self-replicating airway organoids from the cave nectar bat Eonycteris spelaea as a model system for studying host-pathogen interactions in the bat airway epithelium by Chan, Louisa L. Y., Gamage, Akshamal M., Tan, Chee Wah, Tan, Kai Sen, Liu, Jing, Tay, Douglas Jie Wen, Foo, Randy Jee Hiang, Rénia, Laurent, Wang, De Yun, Wang, Lin-Fa

“…However, these ALI-AECs did not support SARS-CoV-2 infection, despite E. spelaea ACE2 receptor being capable of mediating SARS-CoV-2 spike pseudovirus entry. This work provides critical model systems for assessing bat species-specific virus susceptibility and the reservoir likelihood for emerging infectious agents.…”
