Confined migration induces non-lethal DNA damage in developing neurons
Newborn neurons experience DNA damage during the formation of the brain cortex. This damage occurs during confined migration and is typically non-lethal. The cells routinely repair these breaks as they develop.
What changed
Research now links confined migration to routine DNA damage and repair in developing neurons.

Confined Migration Induces Repairable DNA Damage in Developing Neurons
confidence 100%Newborn neurons experience DNA damage during the formation of the brain cortex. This damage occurs during confined migration and is typically non-lethal. The cells routinely repair these breaks as they develop.
What's confirmed:
- Developing neurons experience DNA damage during migration.
- DNA damage occurring during the formation of the brain cortex is routinely repaired.
- Confined migration induces non-lethal DNA damage in developing neurons.
