KOVID – Kidney and Cardiovascular Injury Determination in a COVID-19 Mouse Model
The KOVID project aims to study, in a mouse model, the fate and functions of cardiovascular and renal cells during SARS-CoV-2 infection in order to better understand cardiovascular and renal alterations that develop during pathology. It focuses on describing and understanding the molecular and cellular basis of cardiovascular dysfunction and hydroelectrolytic equilibrium impairment in COVID-19 patients.
