The novel coronavirus is a new kind of enemy. Now, the United States Army has added a cutting-edge tool to its arsenal to better understand this threat: “organs-on-chips” that recapitulate the microarchitecture and function of living human lungs. Army scientists are conducting research with the Lung-Chips to observe intracellular interactions and gain insight into the role of proteins within human lung cells exposed to the virus.
