Scientists Use Stem Cells to Uncover COVID-19 Effects on the Heart
Scientists and medical professionals worldwide are collaborating to discover how to address the coronavirus pandemic and to better understand its effects on the body. It is well known that COVID-19 can devastate the lungs, however, there is mounting evidence that the coronavirus may directly or indirectly infect other cell types, including the heart. Learn how researchers are using stem cell models to study how the coronavirus infects cardiovascular tissues and how they might uncover novel treatments.
