in the assessment of organoids due to their three-dimensional (3D) nature. Imaging and dissociation of organoids tends to involve more equipment and a larger investment of resources than in standard 2D cultures. Additionally, organoids lack the vasculature and immunological components that are present in in vivo models, so researchers interested in those aspects of viral infection are advised to seek an alternative protocol.
