The combination of the anti-HIV drugs was used on several patients in China’s #Wuhan, and has reportedly also been tested on patients in #Rajasthan and #Odisha.
"the hospital is administering the medicine to the UK patient with his consent, and they got the approval of the State Medical Board and the Indian Council of Medical Research ( #ICMR ). He further said that he couldn’t comment on the effectiveness of the drug as it was too early to tell"

🔸 The central nervous system has to go from the caudal end of the spinal cord all the way to the front of the brain.
🔸 The neural plate is making the neural tube. And the central portion of the neuroectoderm folds up, and then it folds and closes and becomes a tube.
🔸 Neural tube is going to become central nervous system. Neural crest is going to become peripheral nervous system plus a lot of other stuff like melanocytes.
🔸 By the end of day 21 of gestation, we already have an invagination; and by the end of the fourth week, we're going to have a tube that stretches from one end to the other.
🔸 And the way this works is that the flat plate of neuroectoderm, invaginates — it folds in. It is called 'neural fold' or 'neural groove'.
🔸 And then that increases until you have almost a tube — people will call this an omega shape — and then that does in fact become a tube.
🔸 After the tube forms, other tissues have to come in and cover the nervous system — that's important. We don't want our nervous system to be exposed. This whole process takes a week.
🔸 And around the region where the neck of the adult will be, the neural tube first closes up.
🔸 There's one last opening where they meet. And that's called a neuropore.
