A common #parasite could deliver #drugs to the #brain—how scientists are turning #Toxoplasma gondii from foe into friend.
Dear #RettSyndrome community and #MeCP2 aficionados. I will give a talk at the 2023 Rett Syndrome Scientific Mtg in Nashville, TN 👉 June 5-7. Thanks to the IRSF and the meeting's scientific committee for the invitation 🙏 More info to come ;-)
This month’s newsletter takes a close look at the orphan drug program in the United States, several cannabis-based therapies and a secondary analysis of bumetanide, among other new developments in autism-related drug trials.
“Of the 8 women that completed psychological evaluation and the Symptom Checklist 90-R, half were treated for depression prior to the birth of a child with MDS. All 8 women exhibited symptoms of anxiety and for six, anxiety was present prior to the birth of the affected child.”
👉 Yes, studying #MeCP2, #Epigenetics, #RettSyndrome, and #MDS is important.
👉 Yes, studying #anxiety, #depression, and #screening for better drugs is essential.
