As part of efforts to develop the drug and vaccine to get rid of coronavirus, researchers have developed miniature organs in the laboratory to find out how much the coronavirus causes damage to the body. Researchers claim that the virus can damage the lungs, liver and kidneys. This can explain the complexities of Covid-19 in people. According to Nature, studies of these organoids (artificially formed cells or groups of tissues that resemble organs) have shown that the virus attacks from the lungs to the liver, kidneys and intestines.

Researchers are experimenting with drugs on these organs to see if such treatment can be expected for people. Physicians know that the coronavirus has a devastating effect on the human body, but it is not clear whether the damage is directly caused by the virus or through other complications of infection. Many groups are engaged in the study of organoids. To find out where the virus goes into the body and which cells get infected by it and how it is damaged.

SARS-COV-2 can spread from the lungs to other organs, but the researchers were not sure until then. Until the study was published by Montserrat and his colleagues on 4 May. It told how the virus travels in the body. In organoids experiments, they showed that SARS-COV-2 can infect the endoderm. Cells can form the lining of blood vessels, which allow viral particles to mix in the blood and circulate throughout the body. Joseph Penninger, a genetic engineer at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, says pathology reports of damaged blood vessels in people with Covid-19 also support this hypothesis.
