(1/6): How can we better test therapeutics without using animals or risking lives? Lab-grown human mini-organs, called “organoids”, provide an answer! Despite their progress, organoids and related methods lack realistic flow through blood vessels, the “plumbing” of our bodies.
This work aims to improve human research by providing a blood system to support the energetic demands of human tissues grown in a dish called "organoids".
Hopefully VIVOS will help move research away from animal models and towards engineered alternatives.
Hi @RepRoybalAllard! You have already done so much for mothers and I’m hoping we can push for more change at the @TSA together!
I know the TSA will be defending their budget request before your subcommittee THIS Weds - can you raise this issue of traveling mothers w/ them?
If you want to see Canada show more leadership towards global #VaccineEquity, now is a GREAT time to reach out to your MP and let them know.
