Astrocytes derived from ASD patients alter behavior and destabilize neuronal activity through aberrant Ca2+ signaling

Megan Allen, Ben S. Huang, Michael J. Notaras, Aiman Lodhi, Estíbaliz Barrio-Alonso, Paul Wolujewicz, Jonathan Witztum, Francesco Longo, Maoshan Chen, David W. Greening, Eric Klann, Margaret Elizabeth Ross, Conor M. Liston, Dilek Colak

This study shows that astrocytes from ASD patients induce repetitive behavior and impair memory when transplanted into healthy mice, suggesting a primary role for astrocytes in ASD.

Compartmentalized nonsense-mediated mRNA decay regulates synaptic plasticity and cognitive function via GluR1 signaling

Michael J. Notaras, Megan Allen, Francesco Longo, Nicole L. Volk, Miklós Tóth, Noo Li Jeon, Eric Klann, Dilek Colak

This study shows that NMD regulates synaptic plasticity and cognitive function by controlling GluR1 levels through local mRNA degradation and synthesis in dendrites.
