New Autism Treatment Appears Promising

KenyaHENRY — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 18:06:09 +0000

Neuroscientists have homed in on potential differences in the brain cells of autistic people by studying brainlike spheres grown in an elaborate process from skin cells. The scientists from Stanford University School of Medicine studied cells from patients suffering from Timothy syndrome, a rare genetic condition that is associated with one of the most penetrant forms of autism.
