"RNA Toxicity in Autism"
Can our own RNA turn against us? Genetic mutations can give RNA harmful new functions, disrupting brain development and function, and contributing to neuropsychiatric disorders. This talk will explore how RNA toxicity arises, why it matters for autism, and what it can teach us about future prevention therapies.
