Summary: A humanized lung-on-a-chip model reveals early immune responses to Mycobacterium fortuitum infection, offering new insights into non-tuberculous mycobacteria pathogenesis relevant for drug…
There are so many fun ways to approach research dissemination!
Tried the @prelights.bsky.social spotLight video format to share our latest published work on how ZIC2 shapes early neural development!
Total YouTuber vibes: and I kinda' loved it, tbh. 🤳🔬👇
