Brain-building gene plays key role in gut repair
A gene with a colorful name – mindbomb 1 – plays a key role far beyond the brain. New research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis shows that mindbomb 1 may
be involved in repairing cells injured by infection or inflammation in
the stomach and pancreas. Researchers also found hints that mindbomb 1 may have connections to cancer in those organs.
