The upside of epilepsy: Theories of an evolutionary paradox

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The persistence of common, heritable conditions, like epilepsy, that are associated with reduced reproductive fitness is an evolutionary paradox. Endogenous analgesic, anti‐depressant, and inflammatory mechanisms able to repair compromised functions can offer advantages in unexpected crises.

Reduced sialylation of airway mucin impairs mucus transport by altering the biophysical properties of mucin

open access: yesScientific Reports
Mucus stasis is a pathologic hallmark of muco-obstructive diseases, including cystic fibrosis (CF). Mucins, the principal component of mucus, are extensively modified with hydroxyl (O)-linked glycans, which are largely terminated by sialic acid.

Synthetic Biology‐Based Engineering Living Therapeutics for Antimicrobial Application

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights synthetic biology‐driven antibacterial strategies, focusing on three innovative approaches: engineered bacteriophages for precision bacterial targeting, reprogrammed microbes that detect quorum‐sensing signals or metabolites to release antimicrobials, and engineering mammalian cells that recognize pathogen‐associated ...

Nanomolar-potency 'co-potentiator' therapy for cystic fibrosis caused by a defined subset of minimal function CFTR mutants. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Available CFTR modulators provide no therapeutic benefit for cystic fibrosis (CF) caused by many loss-of-function mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel, including N1303K. We previously introduced the

Investigating the role of SARM1 in central nervous system

open access: yesIbrain, EarlyView.
Sterile‐α and Toll/interleukin 1 receptor (TIR) motif‐containing protein 1 (SARM1) is a pivotal molecule that has garnered extensive attention in neuroscience. As an intracellular molecule, SARM1 possesses various crucial biological functions in the nervous system.
