Astrocytes in Genetic Epilepsies: Supporting Actor or Key Player?

Journal of Neuroscience Research, Volume 104, Issue 8, August 2026.
Astrocytes contribute to the pathophysiology of acquired epilepsy. However, less is known about their contribution to genetic epilepsy syndromes which often exhibit frequent comorbidity with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. Epileptic seizures are also frequently present in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Unveiling Gut Homeostasis Disruption in Sepsis: Towards an Integrated Mechanistic and Translational Roadmap

Cell Proliferation, Volume 59, Issue 8, August 2026.
Elucidating the contribution of gut‐organ axes will provide new insights for developing combined therapeutic strategies against sepsis‐associated multiple organ dysfunction. ABSTRACT Sepsis, a life‐threatening clinical syndrome precipitated by a maladaptive host response to infection, is associated with substantial morbidity and high mortality rates ...

Generation of a FMR1 homozygous knockout human embryonic stem cell line (WAe009-A-16) by CRISPR/Cas9 editing

Stem Cell Research, 2019
Mutations in FMR1 gene is the cause of Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) leading inherited cause of intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders. FMR1 gene encodes Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP) which is a RNA binding protein and play ...

Autonomic Function in Fragile X Syndrome: A Systematic Review

Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, Volume 70, Issue 8, Page 773-787, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a monogenic X‐linked cause of intellectual disability and autism. Individuals with FXS often have high levels of anxiety and sometimes display challenging behaviours. Autonomic dysfunction has been suggested to be one physiological mechanism that may contribute to these.

Modeling Fragile X Syndrome in Drosophila

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Intellectual disability (ID) and autism are hallmarks of Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), a hereditary neurodevelopmental disorder. The gene responsible for FXS is Fragile X Mental Retardation gene 1 (FMR1) encoding the Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein ...

Negative Effects of Chronic Rapamycin Treatment on Behavior in a Mouse Model of Fragile X Syndrome

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common form of inherited intellectual disability, is also highly associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). It is caused by expansion of a CGG repeat sequence on the X chromosome resulting in silencing of the FMR1

CGG repeats in the human FMR1 gene regulate mRNA localization and cellular stress in developing neurons

Cell Reports
Summary: The human genome has many short tandem repeats, yet the normal functions of these repeats are unclear. The 5′ untranslated region (UTR) of the fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMR1) gene contains polymorphic CGG repeats, the length of ...

Postnatal downregulation of Fmr1 in microglia promotes microglial reactivity and causes behavioural alterations in female mice

Molecular Autism
Background Fragile X syndrome is caused by the loss of the Fmr1 gene expression. Deletion of Fmr1 in various neuronal and non-neuronal subpopulations in the brain of mice leads to cell-type-specific effects.

FMR1 Disorders: Basics of Biology and Therapeutics in Development

Cells
Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) presents with a constellation of phenotypes, including trouble regulating emotion and aggressive behaviors, disordered sleep, intellectual impairments, and atypical physical development. Genetic study of the X chromosome revealed
