The Molecular Biology of Coronavirus Infection

Dr Christine Metz is committed to research that will advance women's health, primarily focusing on the gaps in diagnosis and care for patients with endometriosis. In this episode of Teach Me in 10 she teaches us all about her work and its implications.

It may seem that rabbits that walk with their hind legs over their head--like an acrobat walking on her hands--belong in a circus, but this breed spends almost all the time in a lab. By comparing these sauteur d’Alfort with run-of-the-mill breeds, researchers are learning what it takes to move limbs in a coordinated way. Now, they have pinned down the single genetic mutation that likely causes this peculiar form of locomotion.

Professor Martin Michaelis and Dr Mark Wass of the University of Kent’s School of Biosciences explain why COVID-19 vaccines can cause side effects in this week's installment of Teach Me in 10.
