Principal component analysis (PCA) showed smaller heterogeneity in the organoid groups derived at different stages of fetal and pediatric development with respect to the primary tissues analyzed at the same stages, which may also include some heterogeneity from the surrounding cells as a result of the isolation procedure (Fig. 3a) . In order to validate both fetal and pediatric gastric organoids as functional in vitro models of SARS-CoV-2 infection and replication, we optimized the culture condition for viral infection in a 3D system (Fig. 4a) . ./cache/cord-267115-6jqdi417.txt ./txt/cord-267115-6jqdi417.txt
