Speaking at @pintofscience.fr #Pint26 on May 18th !
I’ll be discussing about #Rettsyndrome, how too little or too much of #MECP2 disrupts (too many) brain functions and how gene therapies can benefit from self-regulated systems.

An #Edinburgh girl will need "round-the-clock care" after she was diagnosed with #RettSyndrome, a rare condition that affects 1 in 10,000 girls.

A new gene-targeting strategy that boosts a critical brain protein may offer a future path toward treating #RettSyndrome. From H Zoghbi lab, @harinipt6 et al @bcmhouston.bsky.social @bcmgenetics.bsky.social #ScienceTM @rettsyndrome.bsky.social www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...
`These data set the stage for a potential therapeutic strategy using antisense oligonucleotides to promote isoform switching in patients with RTT who carry partially functioning alleles of MECP2.`

#RettSyndrome is a neurodevelopmental condition more common in girls than boys, for which there is no treatment. But a new study by the Zoghbi lab et al shows a new path that may lead to therapies. @bcmhouston.bsky.social @bcmgenetics.bsky.social #SciTranslMed blogs.bcm.edu/2026/03/05/f...
The H Zoghbi lab et al provide evidence for new approach to treat #RettSyndrome. @bcmhouston.bsky.social #TexasChildrens @bcmgenetics.bsky.social s.bsky.social @rsrt.bsky.social www.bcm.edu/news/a-promi...
. @mit.edu neuroscientists have found that either of two genetic mutations that cause #RettSyndrome undermine the structural integrity of developing blood vessels.

#RettSyndrome is a rare and devastating neurodevelopmental disorder that impacts ... ability to speak, walk, eat, and even breathe. Symptoms can begin as early as 6 mos old when parents begin to see their child miss development milestones and lose abilities they had already gained."

sn-RNA-seq analysis of wild-type and RTT rat brain. Nuclei were isolated from brains of wild-type rats and transgenic rats with loss of MECP2. (A) 10× single-cell RNA sequencing was performed, and single-cell profiles were obtained. (B) Gene expression profiles were plotted with UMAP, and several different neuronal subtypes were identified in various clusters as indicated. (C) A plot of DEGs between wild-type (WT) and RTT (MT) rat brain. (D) Plotted are the number of DEGs (upregulated and downregulated) in each neuronal subtype.
Abril Morales & co demonstrate that neurons lacking MECP2 show signs of elevated DNA damage and senescence transcriptional signatures, which could contribute to phenotypes in patients with Rett syndrome. doi.org/10.1242/dmm....
