Systemic delivery of MeCP2 rescues behavioral and cellular deficits in female mouse models of Rett syndrome.

TL;DR: It is shown that self-complementary AAV9, bearing MeCP2 cDNA under control of a fragment of its own promoter (scAAV9/MeCP2), is capable of significantly stabilizing or reversing symptoms when administered systemically into female RTT mice, the first potential gene therapy for females afflicted with RTT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correction of respiratory disorders in a mouse model of Rett syndrome

TL;DR: It is shown that apnea in RTT mice is characterized by excessive excitatory activity in expiratory cranial and spinal nerves, and GABA and serotonin 1a receptor activity are candidates for treatment of the respiratory disorders in Rett syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms regulating hypoxic respiratory depression during fetal and postnatal life

TL;DR: Tonic activity in early expiratory (postinspiratory) neurons may contribute to hypoxia-induced apneic episodes in the fetus and newborn and desensitization of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-proprionic acid receptors has been demonstrated in respiratory-related neurons both in vivo and in vitro.
