l have ascending aorta mild enlargement is there a way to control it???

[puddlesplasher]

Cool! I've imaged a variety of organs on a chip and neurospheres and other organoids for academic and pharma researchers all over the world with a specific speciality imaging modality that most people don't have access to.

Not to be poopy, but things never go directly to animal models. Even before nerves on a chip/organoids, a lot of work is done with cell culture lines to figure out and find/screen compounds and dosages

I'm so happy to hear that there is so much being done to eliminate animal testing, but your research specialist stated that animals can't get covid19. I've heard otherwise and have always heard that it is zoonotic. Any explanation for this?
