Can preclinical COVID-19 models help unlock mystery of long-COVID?

In a recently published article in the journal PLOS PATHOGENS, scientists have summarized acute and prolonged clinical manifestations of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The review also provides an overview of the potency and utility of preclinical animal models to understand the mechanistic details of acute and long coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
