		<description><![CDATA[Ira Jacobs, former chair of Kinesiology &#38; Health Sciences, was surprised by the lack of empirical evidence available to explain Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or information to support affected families, after his nephew, Sammy Kohn, was diagnosed with ASD. That started a process that culminated last Wednesday in a cocktail reception to celebrate the newly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A York University study has shown for the first time how the drug misoprostol, which has been linked to neurodevelopmental defects associated with autism, interferes with neuronal cell function. It is an important finding because misoprostol is similar in structure to naturally occurring prostaglandins, which are the key signalling molecules produced by fatty acids in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A gene mutation found in some people with autism appears to disrupt very early stages of brain development and contribute to the nervous system deficits that are the hallmarks of autism disorder, a York University study has found. The study traces the link from autism and a mutated gene to the molecular mechanisms of cell [...]]]></description>
