"The goal is to understand how virus-triggered signals and cell interactions affect blood vessel health and contribute to diseases"

"I call on parents to control and limit where necessary, the use of smart phones and other devices they give to their children. These gadgets are spreading unethical content, without considering the vulnerability of our children."
