Alcohol is thought to lead to neuroadaptive changes, although the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Here, the authors find ethanol treatment alters GABAB-receptor expression via fragile-X mental retardation protein in mice, leading to ...

Modeling Fragile X Syndrome in Drosophila
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 ...

Autism as a disorder of neural information processing: directions for research and targets for therapy [PDF]
The broad variation in phenotypes and severities within autism spectrum disorders suggests the involvement of multiple predisposing factors, interacting in complex ways with normal developmental courses and gradients. Identification of these factors, and

Astrocyte Senescence Impairs Synaptogenesis due to Thrombospondin‐1 Loss
Senescent hippocampal astrocytes lose TSP secretion, impairing excitatory synaptogenesis via the α2δ‐1 pathway. Restoring TSP‐1 rescues synaptic formation, revealing the contribution of astrocyte senescence to age‐related hippocampal synaptic decline.

Decreased Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein Expression Underlies Amygdala Dysfunction in Carriers of the Fragile X Premutation [PDF]
The fragile X premutation provides a unique opportunity for the study of genetic and brain mechanisms of behavior and cognition in the context of neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration. Although the neurodegenerative phenotype, fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome, is well described, evidence of a causal link between the premutation and ...

Sulphur Analogues of Homoisoflavonoids as Potential Treatments for Neovascular Eye Diseases
Neovascular eye diseases are characterised by the abnormal growth of often fragile blood vessels in the eye. Treatment focuses on reducing angiogenesis as well as reducing oxidative stress induced inflammation, a key underlying cause. Synthetic sulphur analogues of naturally occurring homoisoflavonoids, synthesised in three steps, have shown promise as

Fragile X mental retardation protein stimulates ribonucleoprotein assembly of influenza A virus [PDF]
The ribonucleoprotein (RNP) of the influenza A virus is responsible for the transcription and replication of viral RNA in the nucleus. These processes require interplay between host factors and RNP components. Here, we report that the Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) targets influenza virus RNA synthesis machinery and facilitates virus ...

Application of synthetic lethality screening in drug resistance models. Abstract Background and Rationale Synthetic lethality (SL)‐based strategies hold significant promise for overcoming therapeutic resistance, a critical bottleneck in cancer treatment where cancer cells evade anticancer therapies, leading to diminished efficacy or treatment failure ...

FMR1: A Neurodevelopmental Factor Regulating Cell Metabolism in the Tumor Microenvironment
The Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 (FMR1) gene is well-known for its role in Fragile X syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder, but emerging evidence suggests its involvement in regulating cellular metabolism, with implications for cancer biology.
