When lab members crossbred fragile X and Tsc mice, in fact, their offspring emerged healthy as the mutations of each disorder essentially canceled each other out. More recently, Bear's lab showed a ...

Fragile X Society, the charity leading this call to action, is concerned about the lack of awareness around Fragile X ...

A new study suggests a potential molecular strategy for treating fragile X syndrome, an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder that causes autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability.

A recent theory about the basis for fragile X syndrome is now validated in a mouse model. The findings point the way to treatment options targeting group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors.

Considering taking supplements to treat fragile x syndrome? Below is a list of common natural remedies used to treat or reduce the symptoms of fragile x syndrome. Follow the links to read common ...

Treating fragile X Putting the pieces together, the findings indicated that augmenting signaling through the 2B subunit might, like introducing the mutation causing Tsc, rescue aspects of fragile X.

In fragile X model mice, enhancing signaling through the 2B subunit corrected excessive protein synthesis and improved synaptic plasticity and electrical excitability.

Building on more than two decades of research, a study by MIT neuroscientists at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory reports a new way to treat pathology and symptoms of fragile X ...

Fragile X syndrome is the most common genetically-caused autism spectrum disorder. It causes a range of developmental issues, ...
