Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent differences in social communication and interaction, alongside restricted or repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities.
A study of nearly 70,000 children found girls exposed to SARS-CoV-2 infection in utero had a 44% increased risk of autism spectrum disorder. The research showed 3.97% of pregnant women had COVID-19 infection, with most cases occurring in the third trimester. No increased risk was observed for boys or for speech/language and motor delays overall.
Scientists developed Ribo-STAMP technology to map protein production across nearly 20,000 individual mouse brain cells, revealing unexpected differences in how memory neurons translate proteins and potential insights into neurological disorders.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved an Investigational New Drug application for FRF-001, a viral gene therapy for FOXG1 syndrome developed at the University at Buffalo. The first-in-human trial will be independently sponsored by the FOXG1 Research Foundation.
