Excited to share our findings on the potential utility of kisspeptin/basal LH index in central precocious puberty @Suchi1728

[ICMR-NIRWoH @icmrnirwoh]

#PublicationAlert
Our study shows that a single blood test to check the ratio of two hormones (kisspeptin and LH) can better guide differentiating between real precocious #puberty (ICPP) and early breast development (premature thelarche).

#worldhealthday

We may not always see science at work, but we live with its impact every day.

In how diseases are understood.
In how mental health is studied.
In what ways can testing and treatment reach more people?

This World Health Day, let’s celebrate the research and the researchers making healthcare better and more accessible every single day.

🔬New research by Aishwarya P Chakraborty et al. reveals how heterozygous KISS1R mutations implicated in delayed puberty may form oligomers with wild-type KISS1R, partially rescuing receptor function.

🧬On 8th August, we are hosting SHINE – Science & Health Innovation for the Nextgen Explorers🌟
This is a free, national-level initiative by @ICMRDELHI to spark interest in biomedical research among high schoolers.
One day. Infinite inspiration. #SHINEAtICMR #OneDayAsAScientist

Human kisspeptin receptor (which regulates puberty onset) was demonstrated to form larger order complexes. When one copy of the receptor has a mutation, it can still join with a normal copy, and this helps restore its function.
