    The role of selected postsynaptic scaffolding proteins at glutamatergic synapses in autism-related animal models

    The role of selected postsynaptic scaffolding proteins at glutamatergic synapses in autism-related animal models

    AUTORI: Melišková, V., Havránek, T., Bačová, Z. and Bakoš, J. ABSTRACT: Pathological changes in synapse formation, plasticity and development are caused by altered trafficking and assembly of postsynaptic scaffolding proteins at sites of glutamatergic and gamma-aminobutyric acid synapses, suggesting their involvement in the etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism. Several autism-related mouse models have been

    Potential of Salivary Biomarkers in Autism Research: A Systematic Review

    Potential of Salivary Biomarkers in Autism Research: A Systematic Review

    AUTORI: Janšáková, K., Kyselicová, K., Ostatníková, D. and Repiská, G. ABSTRACT: The diagnostic process for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is based on a behavioral analysis of the suspected individual. Despite intensive research, no specific and valid biomarker has been identified for ASD, but saliva, with its advantages such as non-invasive collection, could serve as a

    Autism spectrum disorder and new perspectives on the reliability of second to fourth digit ratio

    Autism spectrum disorder and new perspectives on the reliability of second to fourth digit ratio

    AUTORI: Kyselicová, K., Belica, I., Vidošovičová, M., Janšáková, K., Neščáková, E., Špajdel, M., Navarová, S. and Ostatníková, D. ABSTRACT: The second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) is according to previous studies a likely biomarker for prenatal testosterone exposure and its effect on the human brain. It was found to be linked to autism spectrum disorders
