Build-up of common enzyme stunts brain growth
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine report that an accumulation of a common enzyme can impair brain growth. The finding points to the enzyme as a possible factor in neurodevelopmental disorders and could open new avenues for research into how brain growth is regulated and what interventions might help when the enzyme builds up to harmful levels.
Why now: The new research from WashU Medicine suggests a potentially significant biological mechanism behind stunted brain development.
