Targeting pathological cells with senolytic drugs reduces seizures in neurodevelopmental mTOR-related epilepsy
6 May 2024
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Cortical malformations such as focal cortical dysplasia type II (FCDII) are associated with pediatric drug-resistant epilepsy that necessitates neurosurgery. FCDII results from somatic mosaicism due to post-zygotic mutations in genes of the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway, which produce a subset of dysmorphic cells clustered within healthy brain tissue. Here we show a correlation between epileptiform activity in...
