Remarkable new research findings from @Sergiu_P_Pasca which creates a model of the spinothalamic pathway, opening up opportunities to treat not just pain, but sensory issues in those with #autism. This approach is critical to autism research and has enormous potential.
Sergiu P. Pasca@Sergiu_P_Pasca

Today in @Nature, we report human sensory #assembloids—the most complex 3D assembloids to date—comprising four integrated parts to recapitulate aspects of the spinothalamic pathway that processes pain stimuli. We use this model to investigate cellular/early circuit level features of genetic pain syndromes. More details to follow. Work pioneered in the lab by the brilliant Ji-il Kim and Kent Imaizumi, and in close collaboration with @GregScherrer25! Link below 👇

#Autism is shaped not just by individual factors like #genetics but also by contextual influences—family, school, work, & more. A new #openaccess study organized by ASF CSO @AHalladay212 highlights why understanding these factors is key to better outcomes. bit.ly/4jU636o

The science is clear: Vaccines do not cause #autism. ASF’s @alisonsinger tells @NBCNews why funding for research must focus on the underlying biological causes of autism and new treatments that improve lives. Let’s move forward with #facts. More here: bit.ly/4gkfFnS

The recent “vaccination & autism study” does NOT show that vaccines cause autism. In fact, it doesn’t show anything. It’s a “study” funded by an anti-vaccine activist group. This an attempt to undermine MILLIONS of data points across decades from countries globally. 1/
