        <title>New, surprising roles indicated for critical neurodevelopmental agents</title>
        <link>https://news.vt.edu/articles/2013/09/091313-vtc-foxreelin.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ Researchers from the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute recently got a surprise after performing what they assumed to be a routine experiment in neurodevelopment. It was thought that taking away the receptors for an important glycoprotein called Reelin would hinder a developing brain the same way as taking away Reelin itself. The results, however, revealed major differences, indicating that both Reelin and its receptors have more roles than anyone knew. ]]></description>
