19 September 2022Researchers identify molecular mechanisms leading to Zika-associated microcephaly
Researchers in Brazil affiliated with the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), D’Or Institute and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) have identified molecular processes that may help explain microcephaly in babies born to mothers infected by the Zika virus. The research proposes a model at the molecular level to understand the complications caused by infection during pregnancy and paves the way to the identification of novel therapeutic targets.
