Disseminated Neurocysticercosis With Intraventricular and Cisternal Extension Without Hydrocephalus: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Neurocysticercosis, a leading cause of acquired epilepsy, can present as disseminated disease with widespread cystic lesions. A 33‐year‐old male with seizures and weakness showed radiologically confirmed neurocysticercosis. Treatment with steroids, antiparasitics, and antiseizure medication led to improvement.

The Innate Immune Sensor Zbp1 Mediates Central Nervous System Inflammation Induced by Angiostrongylus Cantonensis by Promoting Macrophage Inflammatory Phenotypes

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 11, March 20, 2025.
This study reveals that Zbp1 plays a pivotal role in regulating neuroimmune interactions during Angiostrongylus cantonensis (AC) infection. Zbp1 modulates lymphocyte infiltration and natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity by promoting cytokine secretion and M1 polarization of macrophages, shaping the CNS immune microenvironment.
