Discovery of molecular mechanism involved in early brain development provides insights into microcephaly pathogenesis"It's difficult to say exactly what causes microcephaly, as there are many complex, interacting factors involved," explains Research Associate Sharmin Naher, "As such, the specific molecular ...
New research shows that the Zika virus hijacks a host protein called ANKLE2, which happens to be important for brain ...
Zika virus, infamous for causing microcephaly, manipulates a host protein called ANKLE2 to assist its replication, which also ...
It's difficult to say exactly what causes microcephaly, as there are many complex, interacting factors involved. As such, the specific molecular pathways that connect genetic mutations to ...
AUTS2 syndrome patients often exhibit microcephaly, yet its etiological mechanism remains unclear. This study reveals that ...
Turchi's studies were part of an emergency investigation that ultimately proved that Zika does indeed cause microcephaly—something many skeptics doubted. There is still much we don't know about ...
Zika virus is unusual in that it can cross the placenta and enter the fetus, where ANKLE2 is known to play a big role in brain development.
