Absolutely delighted to share the lab’s newest study showing that autism-iPSCs diverge from control-iPSCs from early development in a region-specific manner. Heroic work by @neuro_blue & wonderful collaboration with @sbaroncohen biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-… What did we find? (thread)
Prenatal development may be a key period when differences associated with autism could be established. We studied early neurodevelopment using human iPSCs generated from autistic or typically developing individuals.
We found that autism-iPSCs displayed impaired ability to self-organise into neural rosettes, which are neurogeneic niches that give rise to neural progenitors that subsequently differentiate into neurons.
