Researchers reveal molecular mechanism underlying severe anomalies of the forebrain
Researchers of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch have now identified and described a molecular mechanism underlying the most common malformation of the brain in humans. In holoprosencephaly (HPE), the forebrain (prosencephalon) is only incompletely formed. Here a binding site (receptor) for cholesterol plays a key role. If this receptor is defective, specific signals Source: Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres - Discipline: Neuroscience...
