These models allow them to gain insights into the underlying causes of neurological disease. These insights, in turn, inform both clinical studies and drug development. Sometimes animal models are used, but early research often begins by looking at cells grown outside a living organism in a test tube or dish. This method is known as research<i> in vitro</i>—Latin for “in glass.”</p> Fri, 13 Jan 2023 18:12:45 +0000 Dara O'Connor 1286 at /hbhl
