Source:https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/327296.php Using a new type of genetic engineering tool called epigenome editing in mice, scientists have restored irregularities in the developing brain that arise from a gene mutation. New research in mice suggests that gene editing could prevent brain developmental disorders.Epigenome editing is a way of altering the expression, or reading, of genes without altering their underlying DNA code. A team from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD, led the Nature Communications study that focuses on the protein C11orf46. One of the study’s corresponding authors is Dr. Atsushi Kamiya, who is an associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In humans, mutations in the section of DNA that contains the C11orf46 gene can lead to WAGR syndrome, a genetic condition that can cause intellectual disability and impair many systems of the body. The researchers found that C11orf46 directs the development of the corpus ...
After a serious injury or surgery, there is always a specific amount of time needed to recover. During this period, varied resources are needed to regain the strength of doing things independently. In hospitals, the continuous availability of physiotherapists will help in rehabilitation therapy.
Physician Andrew Wakefield reported in 1998 that the measles vaccine leads to autism. Even though his research was discredited, the damage was done and there came a fall in measles vaccinations due to which the prevalence of measles increased.
Since their discovery in the 18th Century, vaccines have been a boon to medicine in its fight against deadly infectious diseases despite skeptical claims against it. They have controlled several and eradicated a number of infections globally.

Most autistic children struggle with communication and social skills. Though the causes are not completely understood there are indications of associations like women taking folate supplements during pre-conception and during gestation showed a lesser chance of having an offspring with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
A recent ruling declared that Italian families are not obligated to get their children vaccinated against measles and other infectious diseases.
