Epothilone D accelerates disease progression in the SOD1G93A mouse model of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
ConclusionsThe results suggest that EpoD accelerates disease progression in the SOD1G93A mouse model of ALS, and highlights that the pathophysiological involvement of microtubules in ALS is an evolving and underappreciated phenomenon.This article is protected by copyright.

mTOR pathway, focal cortical dysplasia and epilepsy
This article will review the current and still evolving genetic advances in the elucidation of the molecular basis of FCD. Activating somatic mutations in the MTOR gene are to date the most frequent mutations found in FCD brain specimens. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Regional pattern of microgliosis in sporadic Creutzfeldt ‐Jakob disease in relation to phenotypic variants and disease progression
ConclusionsMicroglial activation is an early event in sCJD pathogenesis and is strongly influenced by prion strain, PRNP codon 129 genotype and disease duration. Microglial lesion profiling, by highlighting strain‐specific properties of prions, contributes to prion strain characterization and classification of human prion diseases, and represents a valid support to molecular and histopathologic typing.This article is protected by copyright.

Multiple neuronal pathologies are common in young patients with pathologically proven Frontotemporal lobar degeneration
ConclusionsIn summary, the present study reports for the first time that age is not a major risk factor for multiple neuronal pathologies in FTLD. These findings have significant implications for the development of protein‐specific biomarkers and treatments for FTLD, and underscore the need for further research to identify the disease factors involved in driving multiple neuronal pathologies in FTLD.This article is protected by copyright.

The past, present and future challenges in epilepsy related and sudden deaths and biobanking
This article reviews how pathologists and healthcare professionals have approached ERD, current practices, logistical problems and areas to improve and harmonize. The main neuropathology, cardiac and genetic findings in SUDEP are outlined, providing a framework for best practices, integration of clinical, pathologic and molecular genetic investigations in SUDEP, and ultimately prevention.
