Study identifies a critical role a protein called Cep55 plays in brain development and abscission, the final step in cell division.
Researchers have identified how the ASPM gene controls the growth of the cerebral cortex. They report mutations in this gene can reduce brain volume by half in human microcephaly cases.
Researchers report low daily doses of a drug used for anxiety can help protect the developing brain from the neurodevelopmental side effects of CMV infection.
Findings could help to identify cells affected by Zika virus, researchers report.
Researchers discover an antibiotic, that is safe to use during pregnancy, can help to prevent the Zika virus from infecting certain fetal brain cells.
Researchers have discovered the mechanism by which C10 prevents Zika infection at a cellular level.
A new mouse model, that closely mimics fetal brain abnormalities cause by the Zika virus, may help researchers better understand how the infection affects different cells in the developing brain.
A new study reports Zika may be transmitted both sexually and orally.
Researchers have identified seven genes that predict intracranial volume and Parkinson's disease.
A new study could help explain why children born to mothers infected by Zika are more likely to have microcephaly.
Researchers believe new study may help improve understanding of the genetic causes of microcephaly and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
Researchers report they have been able to successfully document the abnormal brain development of a fetus following the mother contracting Zika virus during pregnancy.
