UCSF scientists aim to unravel autism with brain organoids and AI
Researchers are beginning to unravel how 100 genes previously linked to autism spectrum disorder may impact brain development, an important step toward better understanding the condition that could one day lead to new therapies.
A new study from scientists at the University of California, San Francisco, combines proteomics experiments and AI-powered simulations to identify more than 1,700 interactions between proteins implicated in autism and how genetic mutations found in people with autism impact those protein-protein interactions.
