FOCAL CORTICAL DYSPLASIA AS A CAUSE OF EPILEPSY: THE CURRENT EVIDENCE OF ASSOCIATED GENES AND FUTURE THERAPEUTIC TREATMENTS

Focal cortical dysplasia as a cause of epilepsy: The current evidence of associated genes and future therapeutic treatments

Focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs) are the most common cause of treatment-resistant epilepsy affecting the pediatric population.Most individuals with FCD have seizure onset within the first five years of life and the majority will develop epilepsy by the age of sixteen.Many cases of FCD are postulated to be the result of abnormal brain development in

The homeobox protein CEH-23 mediates prolonged longevity in response to impaired mitochondrial electron transport chain in C. elegans.

Recent findings indicate that perturbations of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (METC) can cause extended longevity in evolutionarily diverse organisms.To uncover the molecular basis of how altered METC increases lifespan in C.elegans, we performed an RNAi screen and revealed that three predicted transcription factors are specifically req
