Early cerebrovascular and parenchymal events following prenatal exposure to the putative neurotoxin methylazoxymethanol

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2007
One of the most common causes of neurological disabilities are malformations of cortical development (MCD). A useful animal model of MCD consists of prenatal exposure to methylazoxymethanol (MAM), resulting in a postnatal phenotype characterized by ...

The evolving therapeutic landscape of spinal muscular atrophy – A scoping review of investigational agents, emerging delivery technologies and strategic innovations

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe neuromuscular disease with emerging therapeutic complexity. This review aims to systematically map the global pipeline of investigational treatments for SMA. Using ClinicalTrials.gov and complementary international registries, we identified 21 planned or ongoing interventional trials from 2020 to 2025 targeting

Impact of chronodisruption during primate pregnancy on the maternal and newborn temperature rhythms. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Disruption of the maternal environment during pregnancy is a key contributor to offspring diseases that develop in adult life. To explore the impact of chronodisruption during pregnancy in primates, we exposed pregnant capuchin monkeys to constant light (

Identification of major congenital malformations based on healthcare databases in France: A proof‐of‐concept study using the epi‐meres nationwide mother–child register

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Besides registries, healthcare databases can provide useful information for assessing the frequency of major congenital malformations (MCMs) and investigating their risk factors, particularly medication exposures. This study aimed to assess the validity of MCMs identification based on French national, comprehensive healthcare databases ...

Paradoxical Effects of a Cytokine and an Anticonvulsant Strengthen the Epigenetic/Enzymatic Avenue for Autism Research

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020
Maternal exposure to the valproate short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) during pregnancy is known to possibly induce autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in the offspring.

A White Paper on Advancing Long‐Acting Therapeutics for Maternal and Pediatric Health by Bridging Gaps in Clinical Research, Access and Regulation

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
As use cases for long‐acting therapeutics expand across clinical indications, there is a critical need to ensure the inclusion of women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, infants and children—populations with a historical gap in the availability of interventions already approved for use in adults.

Expression of mutant TIE2 p.L914F during mouse development causes embryonic lethality and defects in vascular remodeling

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sporadic venous malformation (VM) is associated with the hyperactivating p.L914F mutation in TIE2, a receptor tyrosine kinase essential for vascular development. This mutation is not found in hereditary VM, suggesting incompatibility with life when expressed during early vascular development.

Neonatal developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with movement disorder and arthrogryposis: A shared phenotype across brain‐expressed sodium channelopathies

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Neonatal developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with movement disorder and arthrogryposis (NDEEMA) represents the most severe end of the gain‐of‐function (GOF) SCN1A disorder spectrum. Sporadic cases of congenital arthrogryposis have also been reported in individuals with SCN2A‐, SCN3A‐, and SCN8A‐related developmental and ...

Prenatal betamethasone–postnatal N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid model of spasms: Update on mechanisms and treatments

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Infantile epilepsy spasms syndrome (IESS), formerly known as infantile spasms or West Syndrome, is a severe epilepsy syndrome affecting about 3 in 10,000 newborns in the United States. Characterized by clusters of epileptic spasms, interictal hypsarrhythmia, and developmental delays, IESS has diverse causes, including structural‐metabolic ...
