A newly discovered communication system in the microscopic “antennae” of cells may help explain how some congenital heart defects develop. When genetic mutations disrupt this system, the effects may extend beyond the heart to organs including the brain, kidneys, and skeleton.
New Discovery in Cell Communication May Illuminate Causes of Congenital Heart Defects
A new communication system in cell antennas has been discovered, shedding light on the development of congenital heart defects. This research may have implications for understanding broader health issues that could affect Iranian infants. The findings could influence healthcare policies in Iran regarding congenital conditions.
