This overactivity may contribute to chronic neurodegeneration and worsen brain disorders. Understanding how this process, called reactive gliosis, is controlled could help scientists better understand brain diseases and improve treatments.  </p> Tue, 03 Sep 2024 15:54:17 +0000 Helen Gemmrich 6151 at /neuro /neuro/article/research/discovery-gives-answers-parents-children-rare-disease Scientists identify gene mutations that cause debilitating neurodevelopmental problems in infancy.
