Think of the brain as a city with traffic lights that keep signals flowing smoothly. In a new study, researchers followed a clue about nitric oxide, a common chemical messenger, and found that, in ...

Pasca Lab specializes in growing three-dimensional organoid models from reprogrammed stem cells, which capture molecular changes during fetal brain-like development. Because the human brain cannot be ...

Brain cells grow faster in children with some forms of autism due to distinct changes in core cell signaling patterns, according to research from the laboratory of Anthony Wynshaw-Boris, MD, PhD, ...

A hidden molecular chain reaction in the brain may push key cellular systems into overdrive in autism—and scientists just found a way to switch it off. The brain relies on a constant flow of chemical ...

Trump Administration introduced what it says is an “exciting treatment” for autism: leucovorin, a decades-old medicine that treats toxic effects of chemotherapy. Early research suggests it can be ...
