Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited genetic developmental condition that strongly impacts brain development. Despite the ...

Salk neuroscientists found how specialized brain cells called astrocytes contribute to fragile X syndrome symptoms: through a protein pathway that, when suppressed, can alleviate some symptoms in a ...

For individuals living with fragile X syndrome — a common genetic disorder that is correlated with autism, causes intellectual disability and more frequently affects male individuals — anxiety, ...

Researchers discovered that suppressing BMP signaling in astrocytes reduces seizures and restores brain balance in Fragile X syndrome models.

A new study shows that enhancing activity of a specific component of 'NMDA' receptors normalizes protein synthesis, neural activity and seizure susceptibility in the hippocampus of fragile X lab mice.

The team showed that augmenting a novel type of neurotransmitter signaling reduced hallmarks of fragile X in mouse models of the disorder. The new approach described in Cell Reports works by targeting ...

Researchers have unveiled two major neuroscience advances: Salk Institute scientists reduced seizures in Fragile X syndrome mice by suppressing a protein pathway in astrocytes, while separate teams in ...

Spinogenix, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering first-in-class therapeutics designed to restore synapses to improve the lives of patients, is initiating CLARITY, a Phase 2b/3 ...
