Title:	COVID-19 highlights the model dilemma in biomedical research
Creators Name:	Adhikary, P.P., Ul Ain, Q., Hocke, A.C. and Hedtrich, S.
Abstract:	Scientists worldwide struggle to identify suitable animal models to study SARS-CoV-2 infections. Interspecies-related differences, such as host specificity, divergent immune responses, or the unavailability of species-specific reagents hamper the research. Human-based models, such as micro-engineered multi-organs-on-chip, may hold the solution.
