Research on fragile X syndrome, the most common inherited cause of mental retardation, has focused mostly on how the genetic defect alters the functioning of neurons in the brain. A new study focusing ...
In a comprehensive Genomic Press Interview, researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and Hirosaki University have uncovered critical new insights into the ...
An Omaha teen published a children’s book aimed at helping young readers understand people with disabilities.
Salk neuroscientists found how specialized brain cells called astrocytes contribute to fragile X syndrome symptoms: through a protein pathway that, when suppressed, can alleviate some symptoms in a ...
A new study shows that enhancing activity of a specific component of 'NMDA' receptors normalizes protein synthesis, neural activity and seizure susceptibility in the hippocampus of fragile X lab mice.
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited genetic developmental condition that strongly impacts brain development. Despite the syndrome stemming from an altered genetic code for the single protein ...
Numerous potential treatments for neurological conditions, including autism spectrum disorders, have worked well in lab mice but then disappointed in humans. What would help is a non-invasive, ...
Enthorin Therapeutics Announces Initiation of Phase II Clinical Trial of MRM-3379 (Formerly ENT-3379) for Fragile X Syndrome by Licensing Partner Mirum Pharmaceuticals Enthorin Therapeutics, LLC, a ...
Scientists have created a new therapeutic approach for testing fragile X syndrome, which is the most common genetic cause of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This method aims to alter a type of neural ...
A new study suggests a potential molecular strategy for treating fragile X syndrome, an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder that causes autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability. This ...
Harmony Biosciences’ transdermal cannabidiol ZYN002 suffered a setback as a Phase III trial failed to meet the primary endpoint in a Fragile X Syndrome trial, with the biotech blaming a ...
