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

    AUTHORS: 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

    AUTHORS: 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
