WONOEP appraisal: Biomarkers and treatment strategies beyond the synapse

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy is a heterogeneous neurological disorder affecting more than 70 million people worldwide, posing significant challenges for clinicians due to its complex etiology, diverse manifestations, variable treatment responses, and the inability to predict seizures or disease onset reliably.

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

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Oligogenic inheritance in epilepsy: A systematic exome‐wide analysis

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Genetic factors contribute to the majority of epilepsies, but the exact genetic cause remains unknown in most patients. Incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity are frequent, and recent studies showed a burden of deleterious variants in epilepsy genes, suggesting a role for oligogenic inheritance.

Early autism symptoms in infants with tuberous sclerosis complex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare, autosomal dominant genetic syndrome that confers significantly increased risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), with 50-60% of infants with TSC meeting criteria for ASD by 3 years of age.

Fasting metabolism modulates the interleukin-12/interleukin-10 cytokine axis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
A crucial role of cell metabolism in immune cell differentiation and function has been recently established. Growing evidence indicates that metabolic processes impact both, innate and adaptive immunity.

Metabotropic glutamate receptor-dependent long-term depression is impaired due to elevated ERK signaling in the ΔRG mouse model of tuberous sclerosis complex

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2012
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and fragile X syndrome (FXS) are caused by mutations in negative regulators of translation. FXS model mice exhibit enhanced metabotropic glutamate receptor-dependent long-term depression (mGluR-LTD).

New insights into epileptic spasm generation and treatment from the TTX animal model

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Currently, we have an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms underlying infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS). However, over the past decade, significant efforts have been made to develop IESS animal models to provide much‐needed mechanistic information for therapy development.

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

Distinct and common functions of mTORC1 and mTORC2 in Purkinje cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In mammalian cells, the serine/threonine protein kinase mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) is present in two complexes, called mTORC1 and mTORC2. While several of the components are common to both complexes, raptor and rictor are only associated with ...
