Going on Trial: Arbaclofen reboot; cell implants; psilocybin microdoses | Spectrum | Autism Research News

Going on Trial rounds up new developments in autism-related drug trials. This month we’re revisiting decade-old data from a trial of arbaclofen for fragile X syndrome and looking into a new implant-based approach to quelling seizures, among other treatment strategies.

Two top autism-linked proteins connect to build cell ‘skeleton’ | Spectrum | Autism Research News

ADNP and SHANK3 proteins may bind together and alter a neuron’s internal scaffold, hinting at a mechanism that, when disrupted, may underlie several forms of autism.

Top autism-linked gene boosts DNA accessibility during development | Spectrum | Autism Research News

Loss of the POGZ gene in mice makes certain genes inaccessible and prevents their expression.

Sex bias emerges in new mouse model with autism-linked mutation | Spectrum | Autism Research News

Compared with a previous mouse strain, a new model better reflects some of the difficulties that people with a rare autism-related syndrome experience, and may help identify biomarkers of the syndrome.

The push to screen newborns for rare autism-linked genetic conditions | Spectrum | Autism Research News

As treatments for some autism-linked genetic conditions inch closer to the clinic, researchers are talking more urgently about screening all newborns for such conditions.
