Progress report on new epilepsy treatments: A summary of the Eighteenth Eilat Conference on New Antiepileptic Drugs and Devices (EILAT XVIII). I. Treatments in preclinical and early clinical development

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the last 34 years, the Eilat Conference on New Antiepileptic Drugs and Devices has provided an interactive forum for stakeholders to discuss investigational and recently licensed treatments for seizures and epilepsy. The Eighteenth Eilat Conference on New Antiepileptic Drugs and Devices (EILAT XVIII) took place in Madrid, Spain, on May 3 ...

Cryo-EM structures of pannexin 1 and 3 reveal differences among pannexin isoforms

Nature Communications
Pannexins are single-membrane large-pore channels that release ions and ATP upon activation. Three isoforms of pannexins 1, 2, and 3, perform diverse cellular roles and differ in their pore lining residues.

The Role of Connexin and Pannexin Channels in Perinatal Brain Injury and Inflammation

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Perinatal brain injury remains a major cause of death and life-long disability. Perinatal brain injury is typically associated with hypoxia-ischemia and/or infection/inflammation.

Astrocytic connexin43 phosphorylation contributes to seizure susceptibility after mild traumatic brain injury

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Astrocytic gap junctions formed by connexin43 (Cx43) help maintain brain homeostasis. After mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), total cortical Cx43 increases and redistributes toward a soluble, non‐junctional pool with elevated hemichannel activity and increased phosphorylation at serine 368 (pCx43S368).

Periodontitis as a Model for Inflammatory Uncoupling of Bone Remodeling

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Periodontitis can be viewed as a state of inflammatory uncoupling of bone remodeling, in which excessive osteoclast‐mediated resorption coexists with impaired bone formation. This review integrates emerging insights from osteoimmunology, osteocyte biology, mechanobiology, aging, and resolution pathways to position periodontitis as an accessible in vivo

Loci nominally associated with autism from genome-wide analysis show enrichment of brain expression quantitative trait loci but not lymphoblastoid cell line expression quantitative trait loci

Molecular Autism, 2012
Background Autism spectrum disorder is a severe early onset neurodevelopmental disorder with high heritability but significant heterogeneity. Traditional genome-wide approaches to test for an association of common variants with autism susceptibility risk

Energetic microdomains and the vascular control of neuronal and muscle excitability: Toward a unified model

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The capillary–mitochondria–ion channel (CMIC) axis scales structural resources to match functional workload. (Left) In settings of restricted energetic capacity (e.g. cortical neurons), sparse capillary networks and modest mitochondrial pools set a lower energetic ceiling, sufficient to support phasic, low‐workload excitability.

Connexin43- and Pannexin-Based Channels in Neuroinflammation and Cerebral Neuropathies

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017
Connexins (Cx) are largely represented in the central nervous system (CNS) with 11 Cx isoforms forming intercellular channels. Moreover, in the CNS, Cx43 can form hemichannels (HCs) at non-junctional membrane as does the related channel-forming Pannexin1
