Fishman syndrome, also known as encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL), is a rare, congenital neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by unilateral skin, eye, and brain abnormalities. Epileptic seizures and developmental delay are usually present. We report the clinical, radiological, and, for the first time, neurophysiological findings in a 24-year-old woman diagnosed with ECCL who was evaluated for epilepsy surgery. Functional magnetic resonance imaging revealed transfer of memory and language functions to the nonaffected hemisphere, providing evidence that functional reorganization and restoration of cognitive functions may occur in the context of extensive malformations, such as neurocutaneous syndromes.

Background And Objectives: Cognitive deficits represent a major long-term complication of anti-leucine-rich, glioma-inactivated 1 encephalitis (LGI1-E). Although severely affecting patient outcomes, the structural brain changes underlying these deficits remain poorly understood. In this study, we hypothesized a link between white matter (WM) networks and cognitive outcomes in LGI1-E.

Hyperalgesic priming is a model system that has been widely used to understand plasticity in painful stimulus-detecting sensory neurons, called nociceptors. A key feature of this model system is that following priming, stimuli that do not normally cause hyperalgesia now readily provoke this state. We hypothesized that hyperalgesic priming occurs because of reorganization of translation of mRNA in nociceptors.

Unlabelled: Pathogenic strains cause cholera using different mechanisms. O1 and O139 serogroup strains use the toxin-co-regulated pilus (TCP) and cholera toxin (CT) for intestinal colonization and to promote secretory diarrhea, while non-O1/non-O139 serogroup strains are typically non-toxigenic and use alternate virulence factors to cause a clinically similar disease. An O39 serogroup, TCP/CT-negative strain, named AM-19226, uses a type III secretion system (T3SS) to translocate more than 10 effector proteins into the host cell cytosol.

Wound healing is a dynamic process involving multiple cell types and signaling pathways. Dermal sheath cells (DSCs), residing surrounding hair follicles, play a critical role in tissue repair, yet their regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. This study used single-cell proteomics with the mouse model to explore DSC function across different healing stages.

Natural killer (NK) cells are innate immune cells that play a crucial role as a first line of defense against viral infections and tumor development. Iron is an essential nutrient for immune cells, but it can also pose biochemical risks such as the production of reactive oxygen species. The importance of iron for the NK cell function has gained increasing recognition.
