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.
Abnormal activation of parvalbumin neurons in the young mouse auditory cortex manifests as a result of maternal neglect.
A machine learning algorithm can accurately detect abnormalities in pupil dilation, which are predictive of ASD, in mouse models. The AI can also detect if a female has Rett syndrome with 80% accuracy. The system could be used to detect autism in infants and toddlers.
Researchers describe their findings about how the Foxg1 gene is involved in the development and differentiation of neurons and glial cells from stem cells.
Researchers have identified a specific mechanism involved in how females inherit traits. The findings could help reduce susceptibility to Fragile X and Rett syndrome, the researchers report.
Activating neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex can reverse breathing and memory abnormalities in mouse models of Rett syndrome, researchers report.
Mass General researchers have developed a strategy for treating disorders related to the X chromosome.
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.
Researchers report on how jumping genes can go awry and cause disease.
Researchers have identified more than 40 common genes in cancer and autism disorders.
Researchers have identified an important signaling pathway that, when corrected, appears to improve symptoms of Rett syndrome in mice.
Findings could lead to new treatments for Rett Syndrome and other forms of autism, researchers report.
