The new coronavirus can infect not only lungs, but also blood vessels, kidneys, livers and other organs, according to various experiments with laboratory-made organoids. Organoids, created from stem cells, assemble various cell types that comprise organs in the body. This allows them to model what happens in reality better than standard cell-line experiments can. Doctors knew that various organs were injured in the course of a coronavirus infection, but they didn’t know whether that damage was a direct result of the virus entering those organs. The experiments suggest it is. “We are fairly confident now that the virus that causes COVID-19 can infect tissue outside the lung and significantly contribute to disease,” says genetic engineer Josef Penninger.

Article New understanding of the damage of SARS-CoV-2 infection outs...
Dear Subhash C. Juneja, this information is available in Nature journal what i have collected. As we know SARS-COV-2 basically infect lungs but now it is reported to infect other mini organs. So i am interested to know how it infects other organs rather than lungs?
