New diagnostic criteria for neurocysticercosis: Reliability and validity
Annals of Neurology, 2016 The diagnosis of neurocysticercosis (NCC) remains problematic because of the heterogeneity of its clinical, immunological, and imaging characteristics. Our aim was to develop and assess a new set of diagnostic criteria for NCC, which might allow for the ...

Ependymal cells undergo astrocyte‐like reactivity in response to neuroinflammation
Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 168, Issue 10, Page 3449-3466, October 2024.Ependymal cells are unique glia that regulate local cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) microcirculation and form a dynamic interface between the brain and CSF. Here, we describe an unrecognized astrocyte‐like reactive transcriptomic profile that is assumed by ependymal cells in response to chronic neuroinflammation, that can be recapitulated following exposure ...

Neurocysticercosis and Epilepsy
Epilepsy Currents, 2014 . NCC is the most common parasitic disease of the nervous system. It accounts for about 50,000 deaths per year and many times this number of people with active epilepsy (1, 2). The disease is endemic in Central and South America, sub-Saharan Africa, and in some regions of the Far East, including the Indian subcontinent, Indonesia, and China. It is rare

Hippocampal dentate granule cells in temporal lobe epilepsy: A morphometry and transcriptomic study
Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, Volume 50, Issue 5, October 2024.Hippocampal dentate granule cells are more dispersed in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Astrogliosis, particularly A1 astrocyte transcriptomic signature, is observed in TLE dentate gyrus, together with activated complement cascade, apoptosis and extracellular matrix remodelling.
