Ultrasound of a pregnant Rhesus monkey that has been infected with Zika virus
Researchers perform a fetal ultrasound on a pregnant rhesus monkey to study the link between the Zika virus and birth defects. They are trying to learn how, when and where the virus infects the fetus and causes disease. When an adult male is infected, the virus is cleared…
Sophie the Cat
Cats like Sophie help researchers study the molecular causes for heart failure. Almost 6 million people in the US have heart failure and half of these people die within 5 years of their diagnosis. Cells from the heart muscle of cats survive for up to 10 days in…
