A new study reports some aspects of autism spectrum disorders are linked to defects in how peripheral nerves communicate sensory information to the brain. Read More
Findings about the distribution of condensates in Rett syndrome shed light on how cells compartmentalize chromosomes and provide new insights into potential paths of therapies for the neurodevelopmental disorder. Read More
Malfunctions in some of the same genes contribute to the pathology or some cases of schizophrenia, autism and intellectual disability. Read More
A new study reports a protein associated with Rett syndrome is also among a group of three proteins that affect the function of a gene previously linked to OCD. Read More
According to new research, one protein can regulate the expression of a large number of genes that modulate pain. Read More
A new study claims researchers have identified a new cause for some cases of autism and other intellectual disabilities. Read More
Researchers have identified an important signaling pathway that, when corrected, appears to improve symptoms of Rett syndrome in mice. Read More
According to a new study, statins could help treat Rett Syndrome. Read More
Researchers have identified a drug candidate which appears to suppress a critical genetic alteration in dysfunctional cells. Read More
Isoguavacine, an old experimental compound which exclusively targets peripheral neurons, mitigates abnormal touch sensitivity in mouse models of ASD. The compound also improved body mass, reduces anxiety, and in one genetic subset of mice, prevented the development of brain abnormalities that arise from altered touch response. Read More
