In this photo taken on Monday, Feb. 29, 2016, provided by Florida State University, Hengli Tang poses in his lab at Florida State University, in Tallahassee, Fla. Tang is a lead author of a lab study that found the Zika virus infects embryonic cells that help form the brain, adding to evidence that Zika causes a serious birth defect. The new work provides experimental evidence that once the virus reaches the developing brain, it can infect and harm cells that are key for further brain development, said Tang.
