Bats are reservoir hosts for various zoonotic viruses with pandemdic potential in humans and livestock. In vitro systems for studying bat host-pathogen interactions are of significant interest. Here, we establish protocols to generate bat airway organoids (AOs) and airway epithelial cells differenti...
