Autism Spectrum Disorders: An Intervention Approach Based on Genomic Analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method based on DNA polymorphism analysis as the first step to characterize vulnerabilities related to different ASD subtypes in order to design more individualized therapeutic and support strategies.

Role of cerium oxide nanoparticles in improving oxidative stress and developmental delays in Drosophila melanogaster as an in-vivo model for bisphenol a toxicity

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of exposure to different concentrations of BPA (0.05, 0.5, 1mM) were studied and the flies showed deficits in social interaction, locomotion, and enhanced oxidative stress that was found to be deteriorating among the flies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developing a Deeper Understanding of Autism: Connecting Knowledge through Literature Mining.

TL;DR: A literature mining method to search for matched themes in unrelated literature that may contribute to a better understanding of complex pathological conditions, such as autism, confirms that this method could support experts on their way towards discovering hidden relationships and towards a betterUnderstanding of the disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI

Environmental Factors and Limbic Vulnerability in Childhood Autism

TL;DR: A two-hit combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental challenge is argued to underlie the rise in ASD.

Role of free radicals and catalytic metal ions in human disease: an overview.

TL;DR: The chapter discusses the metabolism of transition metals, such as iron and copper, and the chelation therapy that is an approach to site-specific antioxidant protection.

Nitric oxide: a cytotoxic activated macrophage effector molecule.

TL;DR: The results suggest that nitric oxide is the precursor of nitrite/nitrate synthesized by cytotoxic activated macrophages and, via formation of iron-nitric oxide complexes and subsequent degradation of Iron-sulfur prosthetic groups, an effector molecule.

The mitochondrial death/life regulator in apoptosis and necrosis

TL;DR: The acquisition of the biochemical and ultrastructural features of apoptosis critically relies on the liberation of apoptogenic proteases or protease activators from mitochondria.

Neuroglial activation and neuroinflammation in the brain of patients with autism

TL;DR: It is indicated that innate neuroimmune reactions play a pathogenic role in an undefined proportion of autistic patients, suggesting that future therapies might involve modifying neuroglial responses in the brain.

Biological effects of the superoxide radical.

TL;DR: Can the superoxide radical exert deleterious effects independent of participating with H2O2 in the production of the hydroxyl radical?
