A number of viruses can initiate central nervous system (CNS) diseases that include demyelination as a major feature of neuropathology. In humans, the most prominent demyelinating diseases are progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, caused by JC ...

Posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome [PDF]
Abstract Posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome is a newly recognised brain disorder that predominantly affects the cerebral white matter. Oedematous lesions particularly involve the posterior parietal and occipital lobes, and may spread to basal ganglia, brain stem, and cerebellum.

Abstract Objective Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with spike–wave activation in sleep ((D)EE‐SWAS) is associated with acquired cognitive and behavioral deficits. This international multicenter study aimed to compare cognitive and safety outcomes following initial treatment with corticosteroid and clobazam in patients not eligible for the ...

A clinical review on megalencephaly: A large brain as a possible sign of cerebral impairment. [PDF]
Megalencephaly and macrocephaly present with a head circumference measurement 2 standard deviations above the age-related mean. However, even if pathologic events resulting in both megalencephaly and macrocephaly may coexist, a distinction between these ...

NOTCH signalling is indispensable for tissue homeostasis and, consequently, corruption of its normal function promotes numerous diseases, including cancer. However, the development of targeted therapies has been hampered by inefficacy and overt toxicity. Here, we show that NOTCH receptor dimerization is necessary for receptor transactivation, which has

Loss-of-function mutations in Lysyl-tRNA synthetase cause various leukoencephalopathy phenotypes [PDF]
Objective: To expand the clinical spectrum of lysyl-tRNA synthetase (KARS) gene–related diseases, which so far includes Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, congenital visual impairment and microcephaly, and nonsyndromic hearing impairment.

Stewardship of Molecular Diagnostics in Transplant Viral Infections
ABSTRACT The transplant environment requires special considerations when testing for viral infections as immunosuppression results in atypical infection profiles. Microbes otherwise considered commensals or causing mild disease can lead to severe infections in transplant environments. Therefore, guidelines tend to recommend broader microbial testing in

Altered Mechanical Properties of Astrocytes Lacking MLC1: Implications for the Leukodystrophy MLC
Mechanical properties of Mlc1‐null astrocytes are altered. Cytoskeleton‐related pathways are dysregulated in Mlc1‐null astrocytes. Mlc1‐null astrocytes show alterations in focal adhesions, which link the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. ABSTRACT Loss of function of the astrocyte protein MLC1 causes Megalencephalic Leukoencephalopathy with ...
