The Chicken Embryo Model: A Novel and Relevant Model for Immune-Based Studies

Dysregulation of the immune system is associated with many pathologies, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer. To date, the most commonly used models in biomedical research are rodents, and despite the various advantages they offer, their use also raises numerous drawbacks. Recentl...
