The results have now been published in the leading journal rain Although the brain or brain stem acts as the command center,
This is a surprising new role for brain stem cells and changes the way we view them said Leonardo Belluscio Ph d. a scientist at NIH's National Institute of Neurological disorders
In the recessive deafness model, gene therapy with TMC1 restored the ability of sensory hair cells to respond to sound--producing a measurable electrical current--and also restored activity in the auditory portion of the brainstem.
and brain stem atrophy and a general weakness of the muscles affecting locomotion, eye movement, swallowing and speech.
#New information on brain development, fertility discovered The protein CEP63 is crucial for the correct division of brain stem cells.
The scientists describe that this protein triggers the death of brain stem cells. This occurs because cells without CEP63 have delayed cell division,
