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 ...

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!
