The development of a retina-on-a-chip; which combines living human cells with an artificial tissue-like system, has described today in the open-access journal eLife. However, this cutting-edge tool may provide a useful alternative to existing models for studying eye disease; and allow scientists to test the effects of drugs on the retina more efficiently. However, many…
“Women with a chronic physical condition like diabetes, hypertension and asthma may benefit from targeted strategies to reduce their risk of mental illness,” says Hilary Brown, an assistant professor at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Health & Society at U of T Scarborough.
