02/07/2010 Described for the first time an essential protein for nervous system's development 02/07/2010 Researchers of VHIR and Universidad Autonoma of Barcelona have described for the first time a new protein function (FLIP-L), essential for the nervous system development.Until now, this protein was said to be a security mechanism for programmed cell death. This group of researchers has studied its function at the nervous system and has seen a determinant influence in nervous cells differentiation, discovering it is indispensable for the development of connections between neurons. This determinant rol can imply a new view studying several diseases like nervous system or even the ischemic.
