NEW YORK, Aug. 27 (TNSres) -- Rockefeller University issued the following news:
One particular protein lies at the heart of brain development. A master regulator of gene expression, it's abundantly present in neurons, and its dysfunction underlies Rett syndrome, a neurological disorder that could lead to severe cognitive, motor, and communication impairments in young girls.
Yet scientists understand little about how this essential protein does its crucial work at the mo . . .
