Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2, is a systemic disease with a broad spectrum of manifestations in multiple organs. Till now, it remains unclear whether these multi-organ dysfunctions arise from direct viral infection, or indirect injuries. There is an urgent need to evaluate the impacts of SARS-CoV-2 infection on human bodies and explore the pathogenesis of extrapulmonary organ injuries at a systemic level. Multi-organ microphysiological systems, which can model whole-body physiology with engineered tissues and physiological communications between different organs, serve as powerful platforms to model COVID-19 in a multi-organ manner. In this perspective, we summarize the recent advancement in multi-organ microphysiological system-based researches, discuss the remaining challenges, and proposed some prospects in the application of multi-organ model system for COVID-19 research.
