The cellular distribution of P2X7, P2Y6, and P2Y12 during or after pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus and literature review by Yue Li, Fengru Tang, Yumin Luo

“…Our literature review revealed that P2X7, P2Y6, and P2Y12 are expressed in different cells during epilepsy pathogenesis. Therefore, we studied the protein expression patterns of the purinergic receptors P2X7, P2Y6, and P2Y12 in the normal mice hippocampus, as well as during or after pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus (DPISE or APISE). …”

Treatment of convulsive status epilepticus in Brazil: a review by Luis Otavio Caboclo

“…Status epilepticus (SE) is the most severe presentation of epilepsy. Currently, SE is defined according to 2 sequential time frames: time 1, after which it is unlikely that the seizure will resolve spontaneously, therefore requiring the initiation of therapy; and time 2, when long-term consequences become more likely. …”

Novel strategies targeting mitochondria-lysosome contact sites for the treatment of neurological diseases by Yinyin Xie, Wenlin Sun, Aoya Han, Xinru Zhou, Shijie Zhang, Changchang Shen, Yi Xie, Cui Wang, Nanchang Xie

“…Emerging evidence suggests that abnormalities in mitochondria-lysosome contact sites (MLCSs) contribute to neurological diseases, including Parkinson’s disease, Charcot–Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, lysosomal storage diseases, and epilepsy. This article reviews recent research advances regarding the tethering processes, regulation, and function of MLCSs and their role in neurological diseases.…”
