Recently, Yuen and colleagues used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs), neurospheres, and three-dimensional (3D) brain organoids for evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the brain. provided the first experimental evidence showing that SARS-CoV-2 could replicate in hNPCs and neurospheres and also the novel virus could productively infect cortical neurons and NPCs in 3D brain organoids ( Figure 1 ). In summary, the data provided by Yuen and colleagues offer useful experimental evidence supporting that SARS-CoV-2 can infect the human brain using an iPSCs-derived platform including hNPCs, neurospheres, and 3D human organoids. ./cache/cord-272423-o5yinjcz.txt ./txt/cord-272423-o5yinjcz.txt
