Developed from biopsies of nasal or bronchial cells differentiated in the air/liquid interphase, these models reproduce with high fidelity most of the main structural, functional and innate immune features of the human respiratory epithelium that play a central role 70 in the early stages of infection and constitute robust surrogates to study airway disease mechanisms and for drug discovery (10) . Comparably, daily treatment with 20 µM remdesivir resulted in 7.3 log10 and 7.9 log10 reductions of intracellular SARS-CoV-2 viral titers at 48 hpi in nasal and bronchial HAE, respectively (Fig. 4D, upper panel) . ./cache/cord-272626-bw9lbzvt.txt ./txt/cord-272626-bw9lbzvt.txt
