Research models are used in medical research to mimic aspects of a disease or illness that occurs in humans. Research models can include animals (in vivo models), cell lines (in vitro models), or computer-driven demonstrations (in silico models). Research models allow doctors and scientists to uncover important information that can be applied to clinical practice.
The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has led to a worldwide pandemic. Beside respiratory symptoms, infected people may develop neurologic dysfunctions such as loss of smell and taste, also seizures, a...
