The brain is the body’s most protected organ, covered in a complex and nearly impenetrable barrier of specialized blood vessels. While this particular anatomical arrangement protects it from outside invaders, it also makes it difficult for researchers to study how specific genes are expressed ⎯ and how such changes in gene expression can lead to disease. Now Rice University scientists have developed a non-invasive way to monitor the dynamics of gene expression in the brain, making it easier to investigate brain development, cognitive function and neurological diseases, according to a study published in Biotechnology of nature.
