✦AI Summary
A study published in Nature reveals that neurons experience DNA damage as they migrate during fetal development. The research explains how enzymes like topoisomerase 2-beta and ligase 4 repair these breaks to ensure proper brain function.
Neuronal DNA breaks as the cells migrate during development, though enzymes later fix that damage to preserve function, according to a study published in Nature last month .
