Maternal-fetal immune conflict contributes to male-specific impairments in a mouse model of neurodevelopmental disorders

2026-02-03

Abstract excerpt

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) arises through a combination of genetic and environmental risk factors. One environmental risk factor is maternal immune activation (MIA), wherein pathogenic infections in pregnant individuals increase the risk of ASD in the offspring, an effect seen most prevalently in males. However, the reasons that males exhibit this heightened sensitivity to MIA, and the mechanisms through which...
