Physiological aging and inflammation-induced cellular senescence may contribute to oligodendroglial dysfunction in MS

Background Introduction In this paper, the researchers discuss the impact of aging on the functionality of all cell types in the central nervous system (CNS) and its role in neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these age-related changes and their contribution to diseases remain poorly u...

Targeting pathological cells with senolytic drugs reduces seizures in neurodevelopmental mTOR-related epilepsy

This is a research report on focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) type II. The authors aim to investigate the cellular senescence phenomenon present in FCD II and whether targeting these senescent cells can alleviate seizures. Background: FCD II is a common cortical malformation causing childhood epilepsy and developmental delay. It is caused by somatic ...
