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

open access: yesEpilepsia, 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 ...

Inflammasome Activation Induces Pyroptosis in the Retina Exposed to Ocular Hypertension Injury

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019
Mechanical stress and hypoxia during episodes of ocular hypertension (OHT) trigger glial activation and neuroinflammation in the retina. Glial activation and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNFα and IL-1β, complement, and other danger factors was ...

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

open access: yesThe 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).

Heavy Alcohol Exposure Activates Astroglial Hemichannels and Pannexons in the Hippocampus of Adolescent Rats: Effects on Neuroinflammation and Astrocyte Arborization

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
A mounting body of evidence indicates that adolescents are specially more susceptible to alcohol influence than adults. However, the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain poorly understood.

Mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 and Male Infertility: Could Connexin and Pannexin Play a Role?

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
The impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on male infertility has lately received significant attention. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in humans, has been shown to impose adverse effects

Periodontitis as a Model for Inflammatory Uncoupling of Bone Remodeling

open access: yesJournal 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

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

open access: yesThe 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.

Possible role of hemichannels in cancer.

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2014
In humans, connexins (Cxs) and pannexins (Panxs) are the building blocks of hemichannels. These proteins are frequently altered in neoplastic cells and have traditionally been considered as tumor suppressors.
