AI Article Synopsis

  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) involves diverse brain connectivity issues that influence social behavior, with recent advancements in its genetic and molecular understanding thanks to a multi-omics approach.
  • Significant amounts of biomedical literature data require manual curation, but machine learning and AI are making strides in automating this process for easier insight extraction.
  • The developed literature mining pipeline utilizes topic modeling and generative AI to categorize scientific texts, enabling applications like knowledgebase creation and summarization, particularly focusing on multi-omics research related to ASD.

Article Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by highly heterogenous abnormalities in functional brain connectivity affecting social behavior. There is a significant progress in understanding the molecular and genetic basis of ASD in the last decade using multi-omics approach. Mining this large volume of biomedical literature for insights requires considerable amount of manual intervention for curation. Machine learning and artificial intelligence fields are advancing toward simplifying data mining from unstructured text data. Here, we demonstrate our literature mining pipeline to accelerate data to insights. Using topic modeling and generative AI techniques, we present a pipeline that can classify scientific literature into thematic clusters and can help in a wide array of applications such as knowledgebase creation, conversational virtual assistant, and summarization. Employing our pipeline, we explored the ASD literature, specifically around multi-omics studies to understand the molecular interplay underlying autism brain.

Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) encompass a group of conditions that impact brain development and function, exhibiting significant genetic and clinical heterogeneity. NAA15, the auxiliary subunit of the N-terminal acetyltransferase complex, has garnered attention due to its association with NDDs. However, the precise role of NAA15 in cortical development and its contribution to NDDs remain elusive.

Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of proteins can regulate function through phase separation. In a recent article in Nature, Garcia-Cabau et al. reveal that including or excluding a microexon within the IDR of CPEB4 alters its condensation properties, suggesting a potential mechanism underlying autism spectrum disorder.

Objective: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by social communication differences and restricted interests. One proposed biologic mechanism underlying ASD is oxidative stress, leading to the clinical use of glutathione based on anecdotal reports of improved behavior in autistic children. In this pilot study, we tested this observation using a randomized clinical trial format to collect preliminary data on glutathione safety and efficacy.
