Disease in a Dish: What Mini-Hearts and Other Organs Reveal about Long COVID

San Jose Mercury News—Senior Investigators Melanie Ott, MD, PhD, and Bruce Conklin, MD, recount how they used miniature balls of beating heart cells called organoids to study the effects of COVID-19 on the heart. The heart cells were derived from a person's skin cells, thanks to technology pioneered by Senior Investigator and Nobel Laureate Shinya Yamanaka, MD, PhD.
