After a long journey, our paper has finally been published. We studied the function of POGZ, a risk gene for autism and other NDDs, by generating a brain-specific KO. The mouse showed developmental, cognitive, and social abnormalities. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Three studies, including ours, were published recently on POGZ, a high-confidence autism gene. Very nicely covered by Angie Voyles Askham Spectrum (Autism Research News) spectrumnews.org/news/mice-with… Our paper: nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our new study: what causes the tissue specificity of diseases? Analysis of tissue-specific essential genes shows that preferential expression explains a minority of cases. Instead, we provide evidence for other mechanisms like paralog interactions and intercellular communication.

Do you agree that Ben Title et al.’s report in Science Advances suggest a regulatory mechanism that tune dorsal horn output in acute pain conditions and could contribute to pain chronification? bit.ly/3GDIaRN #PRF #EditorsPick
