Indian medicine has made another remarkable achievement thanks to the team of researchers from National Brain Research Centre (NBRC) who have successfully recognised the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which Zika virus results in microcephaly. The envelop protein or E-protein of Zika virus responsible for the entry of the virus into the brain stem cells was also arresting the proliferation of human foetal neural stem cells and killing those cells which were turning neuron like found the researchers. According to them this combined effect curbs the foetal brain cells pool resulting in smaller size of brains. This is why babies
