Autism gene variants disrupt enteric neuron migration and cause gastrointestinal dysmotility - Nature Communications
Gastrointestinal distress is common among individuals with autism. Here, authors show that autism gene variants disrupt enteric neuron migration and cause gut dysmotility. They identify a common SSRI ...

McCluskey et al. publish in Nature Communications how expression of autism genes is enriched in migratory embryonic gut progenitors causing GI dismotility.

Appreciate this generous write up on our recent preprint!

Many autism-linked proteins influence hair-like cilia on human brain cells
The finding may help explain autism’s association with multiple co-occurring conditions that involve cilia defects.

🎉 Congrats to the wonderful and talented
@elinakosty.bsky.social
!! Check out her exciting new preprint where she shows that autism proteins (chromatin regulators and synaptic proteins ! ) converge to localize on cilia Plus she'll be at ASCB
@ascbiology.bsky.social
to talk more about it!
