Everolimus Reduces the Size of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex-Related Huge Renal Angiomyolipomas Exceeding 20 cm in the Longest Diameter

Case Reports in Oncology, 2018
We evaluated the efficacy of everolimus in 3 patients who had huge renal angiomyolipomas associated with tuberous sclerosis complex. Two patients with large lipid-rich angiomyolipomas had a history of renal transarterial embolization for renal bleeding ...

Cannabidiol in Anorexia Nervosa: A Double‐Blind Randomized Placebo Controlled Pilot Study to Test Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Symptom Change

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe psychiatric disorder marked by an intense fear of gaining weight and persistent body dissatisfaction, both during periods of underweight and after weight restoration. The endocannabinoid system may offer therapeutic benefits, particularly in reducing anxiety.

Genetics and Molecular Biology of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex

, 2008
Tuberous Sclerosis Complex is a multisystem disorder exhibiting a wide range of manifestations characterized by tumour-like lesions called hamartomas in the brain, skin, eyes, heart, lungs and kidneys. Tuberous Sclerosis Complex is genetically determined

MTOR modulation induces selective perturbations in histone methylation which influence the anti-proliferative effects of mTOR inhibitors

iScience
Summary: Emerging data suggest a significant cross-talk between metabolic and epigenetic programs. However, the relationship between the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), which is a pivotal metabolic regulator, and epigenetic modifications remains ...

Serum NfL, GFAP, and p‐tau217 in adults with drug‐resistant epilepsy and intellectual disabilities: Signs of ongoing neural injury

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Adults with epilepsy and intellectual disabilities (IDs) may be at increased risk of dementia, but clinical evaluation is complex and use of conventional biomarkers is often considered too invasive. We explored abnormality of serum neurofilament light chain (NfL), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and phosphorylated tau‐217 (p ...

Rapamycin-independent IGF2 expression in Tsc2-null mouse embryo fibroblasts and human lymphangioleiomyomatosis cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare, almost exclusively female lung disease linked to inactivating mutations in tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC2), a tumor suppressor gene that controls cell metabolic state and growth via regulation of the ...

The small molecule simufilam dose‐dependently attenuates the worsening of seizures in a mouse model of tuberous sclerosis complex

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Novel epilepsy treatments for patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and focal cortical dysplasia type II (FCDII) are urgently needed. In these patients, mutations in the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway genes lead to mTOR hyperactivity and focal cortical malformations that frequently cause intractable epilepsy ...

A consensus roadmap for post‐traumatic epilepsy: Clinical biomarkers, research priorities, policy barriers, and pathways to interventional trials

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the mechanisms underlying post‐traumatic epilepsy (PTE) following traumatic brain injury (TBI), and developing strategies to prevent or modify its progression, has been the focus of large collaborative efforts within the epilepsy and TBI research communities for over a decade.
