Leading autism groups are calling to extend the draft #IACC Strategic Plan public comment period from 4 days to 90 days. Four days isn't enough time to review a complex, 300+ page document that will help shape federal autism research and policy. More: bit.ly/4bq72sD

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
