A two‐sample Mendelian randomization study and mediation analysis exploring the link between cathepsins and epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study aims to investigate the causal relationship between cathepsins and epilepsy, using Mendelian randomization (MR) and mediation analysis. Methods Publicly accessible summary statistics on epilepsy were obtained from FinnGen and the International League Against Epilepsy Consortium.

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

open access: yesEpilepsia 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.

Chimeric glutamate receptor subunits reveal the transmembrane domain is sufficient for NMDA receptor pore properties but some positive allosteric modulators require additional domains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
NMDA receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that underlie transmission at excitatory synapses and play an important role in regulating synaptic strength and stability.

Potential neuroprotective and therapeutic agents and their mechanisms for irradiation‐induced brain injury

open access: yesIbrain, EarlyView.
In this review, agents such baicalein, troxerutin, epigallocatechin gallate, quercetin, melatonin, valproic acid, lithium, neurosteroid progesterone, as well as minocycline have been implicated as neuroprotective agents for irradiation‐induced neurological deficits. Also, agents such as glucocorticoids, methylphenidate, vitamin E, bisdemethoxycurcumin,

Complete Disruption of the Kainate Receptor Gene Family Results in Corticostriatal Dysfunction in Mice

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Kainate receptors are members of the glutamate receptor family that regulate synaptic function in the brain. They modulate synaptic transmission and the excitability of neurons; however, their contributions to neural circuits that underlie behavior are ...

Pharmacological analysis of ionotropic glutamate receptor function in neuronal circuits of the zebrafish olfactory bulb. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2008
Although synaptic functions of ionotropic glutamate receptors in the olfactory bulb have been studied in vitro, their roles in pattern processing in the intact system remain controversial.

Review: Dystroglycan in the Nervous System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Dystroglycan is part of a large complex of proteins, the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex, which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of muscular dystrophies for a long time.

Structural Basis of the Light‐Switchable Interaction between an Azobenzene Side Chain in a Biosynthetic Protein and α‐Cyclodextrin

open access: yesChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
X‐ray crystallographic analysis of super‐folder green fluorescent protein (sfGFP), a common reporter protein, displaying p‐(phenylazo)‐L‐phenylalanine (Pap) at amino acid position 39 on its surface in complex with α‐cyclodextrin (α‐CD) reveals an unexpected conformation of the photoswitchable side chain and illustrates its light‐dependent ...

AMPA Receptor-Mediated Ca2+ Transients in Mouse Olfactory Ensheathing Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
Ca2+ signaling in glial cells is primarily triggered by metabotropic pathways and the subsequent Ca2+ release from internal Ca2+ stores. However, there is upcoming evidence that various ion channels might also initiate Ca2+ rises in glial cells by Ca2 ...

Cannabidiol inhibits microglia activation and mitigates neuronal damage induced by kainate in an in-vitro seizure model

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2022
Background: Epilepsy is one of the most common brain disorder and, despite the possible use of several therapeutic options, many patients continue to have seizures for their entire lifespan and they need new therapeutic approaches.
