Protein Levels, Not Just Transcripts, Hold Clues to Autism
Altered Corticotectal Circuitry Shapes Contextual Sensory Processing in a Mouse Model of Autism
Using the Linear References from the Pangenome to Discover Missing Autism Variants
Age at Autism Diagnosis Linked to Distinct Genetic Profiles
Recent SFARI-funded research challenges the idea that autism represents a single condition driven by a uniform set of genetic risk factors. Instead, the results support a developmental framework in which distinct constellations of polygenic influences are linked to different diagnostic timelines.
Choroid Plexus Secretion Regulates CSF Proteome and Alters Brain Development
SFARI-funded research demonstrates that activating serotonergic 5HT2c receptors leads to an increase in intracellular calcium, early-response gene expression and elevated protein secretion into cerebrospinal fluid.
Multimodal Approach Reveals How Autism-Linked Genes Shape Primate Prefrontal Cortex Development
SFARI-funded research finds that RAPGEF4 is a key molecular regulator orchestrating prefrontal cortical maturation in primates.
Human Assembloid Model Reveals Region-Specific Effects of an Epilepsy-Linked Mutation
SFARI-funded research demonstrates that SCN8A mutations underlying DEE-13 disrupt both cortical and hippocampal networks, but in distinct ways.
