“…Organ-on-chip models have been developed for several organs either in isolation or in combination (Novak et al, 2020;Ronaldson-Bouchard and Vunjak-Novakovic, 2018). These systems are increasingly being used to model infectious diseases including viral and bacterial infections of the respiratory tract (Nawroth et al, 2020;Si et al, 2020;Thacker et al, 2020bThacker et al, , 2020a, gut (Jalili-Firoozinezhad et al, 2019;Kim et al, 2016;Shah et al, 2016;Tovaglieri et al, 2019), kidney (Wang et al, 2019), and liver (Kang et al, 2017). Recently, bladder organoids that mimic the stratified architecture of the urothelium have been used to study infections (Horsley et al, 2018;Smith et al, 2006;Sharma et al, 2020).…”
