Malformations of cortical development: Embryology and epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract One in seven patients with focal epilepsy has a malformation of cortical development (MCD) as underlying cause. Understanding normal cortical development combined with knowledge of where, when, and what goes wrong in different types of MCD provides insight into the mechanisms of epileptogenesis.

DISC1 genetics, biology and psychiatric illness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Psychiatric disorders are highly heritable, and in many individuals likely arise from the combined effects of genes and the environment. A substantial body of evidence points towards DISC1 being one of the genes that influence risk of schizophrenia ...

Differential Effects of LIS1 On Processive Dynein-Dynactin Motility [PDF]

open access: green, 2017
AbstractCytoplasmic dynein is the primary minus-end directed microtubule motor protein in cells. LIS1 is a highly conserved dynein regulatory factor that binds directly to the dynein motor domain, uncoupling the enzymatic and mechanical cycles of the motor, and stalling dynein on the microtubule track.

Clinical and genetic landscape of epilepsies with absence seizures and single‐gene etiology

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To characterize the clinical, electroencephalographic, and genetic features of epilepsies featuring absence seizures within monogenic etiology, highlighting the diagnostic, treatment and prognostic implications. Methods We conducted a retrospective, multicenter study including patients with monogenic epilepsies and ...

Lissencephaly-1 is a context-dependent regulator of the human dynein complex

open access: yeseLife, 2017
The cytoplasmic dynein-1 (dynein) motor plays a central role in microtubule organisation and cargo transport. These functions are spatially regulated by association of dynein and its accessory complex dynactin with dynamic microtubule plus ends. Here, we

Diagnosis and treatment of occipital brain lesions in children

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 67, Issue 11, Page 1409-1420, November 2025.
Occipital brain lesions in children represent a diagnostic challenge due to the large spectrum of etiologies and overlapping clinical features. This review analyses common and less common causes of occipital brain lesions in children, including malformative, vascular, genetic/metabolic, infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic conditions.

Aetiopathogenesis of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome and mechanisms of action of adrenocorticotrophin hormone/corticosteroids in children: A scoping review

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 67, Issue 8, Page 1004-1025, August 2025.
Why does infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) occur with a variety of underlying conditions and why does it respond to adrenocorticotrophin hormone (ACTH)/corticosteroids? Our scoping review summarizes five hypotheses from the literature: gene/epigenetic regulation, stress/HPA axis activation, neuroinflammation/immune function, altered neuronal ...

Fighting Cancer Stem Cell Fate by Targeting LIS1 a WD40 Repeat Protein

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2019
Cancer is one of the most frequent and devastating diseases. Previous reports have shown that radio and chemo-resistant cancer stem cell (CSC) population is primarily responsible for cancer recurrences after radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Chern-Simons Matter Theories and Higher Spin Gravity

open access: yes, 2017
We compute the parity violating three point amplitudes with one scalar leg in higher spin gravity and compare results with those of Chern-Simons matter theories. The three-point correlators of the free boson, free fermion, critical vector model and Gross-

A microscopy-based screen employing multiplex genome sequencing identifies cargo-specific requirements for dynein velocity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The timely delivery of membranous organelles and macromolecules to specific locations within the majority of eukaryotic cells depends on microtubule-based transport.
