The paper develops chicken lung organoids to model avian influenza virus-host interactions and finds they contain diverse cell types and express relevant viral infection genes.

This paper establishes a canine urothelial carcinoma organoid repository for comparative and translational carcinoma studies, showing genomic and transcriptomic fidelity to tissue and potential for drug testing.

This study identifies higher frequencies of specific histologic subtypes and divergent differentiation in canine urothelial carcinoma compared to previous reports, suggesting dogs as a model for human sarcomatoid UC.
