How - and where - does a disease begin?

Researchers discovered which genes are required for each stage of cell differentiation into neural stem cells and neurons, i.e. for brain development, and which of them are involved in diseases of the nervous system

Going deeper into the roots of the diseases

Researchers have built cellular models of genetic diseases such as fragile X syndrome and found the mechanism that causes them
