WONOEP appraisal: Biomarkers and treatment strategies beyond the synapse

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy is a heterogeneous neurological disorder affecting more than 70 million people worldwide, posing significant challenges for clinicians due to its complex etiology, diverse manifestations, variable treatment responses, and the inability to predict seizures or disease onset reliably.

Epilepsy‐associated SCN2A‐L1342P mutation drives network hyperexcitability and widespread transcriptomic changes in human cortical organoids

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective SCN2A pathogenic mutations, such as the recurrent heterozygous Nav1.2‐L1342P, are monogenic causes of epilepsy. In this human‐induced pluripotent stem cell–derived model system, we aim to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying SCN2A‐L1342P‐associated pathology. Methods Using a human male induced pluripotent stem

Could calcitonin gene‐related peptide inhibitors prevent status epilepticus?

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) inhibitors modulate pain and neuroinflammation, a recognized contributor to epileptogenesis and status epilepticus (SE). We examined the association between CGRP inhibitor use and SE hospitalization in epilepsy patients with comorbid migraine.

Environmental aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) exposure increased the risk of spontaneous abortion through lactate-induced JunB lactylation in trophoblast

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
The etiology of spontaneous abortion (SA) is complex, and the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. Environmental toxins have been implicated in the increased occurrence of SA.

Stargazin Dephosphorylation Mediates Homeostatic Synaptic Downscaling of Excitatory Synapses

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Synaptic scaling is a form of homeostatic plasticity that is critical for maintaining neuronal activity within a dynamic range, and which alters synaptic strength through changes in postsynaptic AMPA-type glutamate receptors.

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Atmospheric implications of aminomethylphosphonic acid promoted binary nucleation of water molecules

Chemical Thermodynamics and Thermal Analysis
Aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) is the main metabolite of glyphosate and phosphonate, the major constituents of herbicides and insecticides used nowadays in modern agriculture and treatment of environmental refuge and sewage.

Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) consists of prolonged, self‐sustaining seizures and is a common neurological emergency that causes respiratory compromise and neuronal injury. Without prompt treatment, the seizures can become resistant to benzodiazepines, leading to the progressive evolution of established, refractory, and super‐refractory SE.

P2X7 receptors exert a permissive effect on the activation of presynaptic AMPA receptors in rat trigeminal caudal nucleus glutamatergic nerve terminals

The Journal of Headache and Pain, 2020
Background Purine receptors play roles in peripheral and central sensitization and are associated with migraine headache. We investigated the possibility that ATP plays a permissive role in the activation of AMPA receptors thus inducing Glu release from ...

The multiple hit model of infantile and epileptic spasms: The 2025 update

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Infantile and epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy manifesting with epileptic spasms and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. There is an urgent need for the development of more effective and tolerated therapies.
