Abstract

Recent advances in organoid and organ-on-chip (OoC) technologies offer an unprecedented level of tissue mimicry. These models can recapitulate the diversity of cellular composition, 3D organization, and mechanical stimulation. These approaches are intensively used to understand complex diseases. This review focuses on the latest advances in this field to study host-microorganism interactions.
