Arachidonic acid, which is released from phospholipid membranes, is metabolized to various epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) compounds and subsequently to dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (diHETrE). This study revealed that high levels of 11,12- diHETrE in umbilical cord blood are associated with ASD symptoms, such as social affect (SA) and adaptive functioning. Additionally, lower levels of 8,9-diHETrE impacted repetitive/restrictive behaviors (RRB).

In the brain's immune cells, called microglia, the gene product PU.1 is associated with excessive inflammation in neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. MIT researchers delivered a small interfering RNA (siRNA) via lipid nanoparticles to reduce expression of PU.1 in mice. Microglia stained for PU.1 or related markers are less evident in the bottom row, which reflects the effects of the siRNA, compared to an experimental control (top row).
