• New Plant-Based Drug Testing System to Help Cut Down on Animal Testing

  …wide. To this aim, they created a model thrombus and inserted it into the vasculature. Then, loaded nanoparticles were magnetically guided into the blocked area in order to dissolve the thrombus.  “It’s important to keep in mind that experiments are often conducted on living organisms, often resulting in their deaths. Plants, on the other hand, do not feel pain …
