Aims: Synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) is a unique therapeutic target for pharmacoresistant epilepsy (PRE). As seizure-induced neuronal programmed death, parthanatos was rarely reported in PRE. Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), which has been implicated in parthanatos, shares a common cytoprotective function with SV2A.

Drug-induced gingival enlargement (DIGE) is a side effect of ciclosporin, calcium channel blockers, and phenytoin. DIGE is a serious disease that leads to masticatory and esthetic disorders, severe caries, and periodontitis but currently has no standard treatment. We recently reported that nuclear receptor 4A1 (NR4A1) is a potential therapeutic target for DIGE.

Phenytoin (PHT) is a first-line antiepileptic drug in clinics, which could decrease neuronal bioelectric activity by blocking the voltage-operated sodium channels. However, the intrinsically low blood-brain-barrier (BBB)-crossing capability of PHT and upregulated expression level of the efflux transporter p-glycoprotein (P-gp) coded by the gene Abcb1 in epileptic neurons limit its efficacy in vivo. Herein, a nanointegrated strategy to overcome PHT resistance mechanisms for enhanced antiepileptic efficacy is reported.

The duration and, age of dementia have been linked to a higher risk of seizures. The exact mechanism that drives epileptogenesis in impaired mitophagy and autophagy linked dementia (MAD) is fully defined after reviewing the Scopus, Publon, and Pubmed databases. The epileptogenesis in patients with Alzheimer's disease dementia (ADD) and Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) is due to involvement of amyloid plaques (Aβ), phosphorylated tau (pTau), Parkin, NF-kB and NLRP3 inflammasome.

Here, we found that mice with spontaneous epilepsy induced by endothelial CDK5 deficiency exhibited hippocampal-dependent memory impairment at 6 months of age, but not at 2 months of age.
