Artificial lung helps researchers investigate how COVID-19 causes blood clots
Scientists at EPFL are using technology to better understand how coronavirus causes blood clots in some patients. They have developed a simplified model of a lung that lets them observe, for the first time, how the virus attacks the cells lining blood vessels. COVID-19 sometimes causes blood clots, although the exact incidence remains a mystery. […]
