Exploring biomarkers of neurodegeneration in epilepsy: Critical insights
Abstract The advent of biofluid biomarkers for neurodegenerative disorders has precipitated a surge in recent evidence regarding their role in epilepsy. In this literature review, we examine the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential of several biomarkers, including amyloid‐beta (Aβ) protein, total (t‐tau), phosphorylated tau (p‐tau) protein,

Protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors modify kainic acid-induced epileptiform activity and mossy fiber sprouting but do not protect against limbic cell death [PDF]
Intrahippocampal administration of kainic acid (KA) induces synaptic release of neurotrophins, mainly brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which contributes to the acute neuronal excitation produced by the toxin.

Abstract Objective Status epilepticus (SE) is a condition of neurological emergency, which precipitates various functional and morphological changes in the brain. Due to the risk of drug resistance associated with SE, this study aimed to evaluate a multitargeted approach to treat SE by combining clinically used antiseizure drugs. Methods In this study,

Immunomorphologic assessment of changes in functional astroglial proteins in a kainate-induced hippocampal sclerosis model [PDF]
Introduction. Astrocytes are involved in mediator metabolism, neuroplasticity, energy support of neurons and neuroinflammation, and this determines their pathogenetic role in epilepsy. Aim. This study aimed at evaluating region-specific changes in the

Cardiac structural and molecular alterations in rodent models of temporal lobe epilepsy
Abstract Objective Cardiac structural and molecular changes are prevalent in people with chronic epilepsy, possibly contributing to an increased risk of premature mortality. However, understanding of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms is limited.
