Study on Mutant Protein May Help Unlock Autism

And may end up helping autistic people recover their lives.

Mice that begin expressing a mutant version of a protein called neurexin at 2 weeks of age develop autism-like behaviors that researchers can erase weeks or months later. The report, published 24 July in Cell Reports, suggests that it may be possible to treat autism symptoms even in adulthood1.

In particular, the animals’ social behavior, such as self-grooming and interaction with other mice, returned to normal. “I think this is good news for the autism field because it shows that reversion even in old animals can be possible,” says lead researcher Francisco G. Scholl, professor of medical physiology and biophysics at the University of Seville in Spain.

The neurexin family of proteins helps neurons send signals across a synapse — the point at which two neurons connect. From their position on one side of the synapse, they bind to another family of proteins called neuroligins on the other side to facilitate the release of chemical messengers2. Mutations in neurexins and other synaptic proteins have been linked to autism.

Several studies over the past few years have successfully reversed symptoms in mouse models of autism and related conditions such as Rett syndrome, tuberous sclerosis and fragile X syndrome. Last year, for example, researchers administered gene therapy to correct behavioral and other deficits in adult mice modeling Rett syndrome, and another study used a drug for sleeping sickness to reverse social and other deficits in a mouse model of severe autism.

I am not sure that I get the gist of your remark.

This nation has been anti-gay until just recently. I mean, fifty years ago, most citizens here were virulently anti-gay.

And we are still against women, yet we use as a selling tool for our wars the fact that women in other nations wear a burkha. (Women here wear a burkha also, as the societal requirement that we all be a size 4. We women have to be anorexic in order to qualify as "real" women. I didn't eat a real meal from the time I was 19 until I was 24.)

Yet women I know who go into the Armed Services have had very degrading and dangerous things happen to them, at the hands of their "fellow" service people, and nothing is done about that?

Anyway, I was posting about the issue of people desiring for kids to grow up in peace. What that has to do with being gay, I don't know. You are aware that of the many kids recently killed in Gaza, some of them w ould have grown up to be LBGT, although I am hoping you are not suggesting that only the gay children in that crowd should be mourned.

BTW, one Barack Obama did not openly support the quest of gay people for their civil rights until recently, as he was trying to appeal to the rather conservative types of fellow African Americans who don't support being gay. But he gets a free pass, doesn't he, no matter what!
