Functional profiling of STXBP1 missense variants using a novel dual‐readout fluorometric assay
Abstract Objective STXBP1‐related disorders (STXBP1‐RD) are among the most common genetic neurodevelopmental disorders, marked by early onset epilepsy, global developmental delay, and motor impairments. Many missense variants remain uncharacterized, limiting accurate variant interpretation and hindering development of precision therapies.

Abstract Objective The ketogenic diet (KD) is a high‐fat, low‐carbohydrate intervention widely used to treat drug‐resistant epilepsy, thought to reduce seizures through a combination of metabolic, neuronal, and microbiota‐dependent mechanisms. Additionally, recent studies suggest that the anticonvulsant effects of KD require the gut microbiota, with ...

Gut‐microbiota‐brain Axis and post‐traumatic epilepsy
Abstract There has been growing evidence that perturbations in gut‐microbiota‐brain axis (GMBA) are involved in mechanisms of chronic sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This review discusses the connection between GMBA and post‐traumatic epilepsy (PTE), the latter being a common outcome of TBI.

Abstract Objectives CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy characterized by early‐onset, treatment‐resistant seizures and severe neurodevelopmental impairment. Increasing evidence suggests that alterations in the gut–brain axis may contribute to disease pathophysiology, raising interest in microbiota‐targeted ...

Vaginal host–microbe signatures linked to placental outcomes in mares
Abstract Background Ascending placentitis is a leading cause of late‐term pregnancy loss in mares. Although pathogens are presumed to ascend from the caudal reproductive tract, the association between the vaginal microbiome and placentitis has not been systematically examined.

Diagnosis of bacteraemia in neonatal foals using 16S rRNA high‐throughput sequencing
Abstract Background Sepsis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in foals. Early diagnosis can improve outcome but is complicated by non‐specific clinical signs and delayed confirmation of infection via blood culture. Molecular assays represent a rapid and more sensitive alternative.
