Super-Cooled Brain Cell Molecules Shed Light on Epilepsy Drug Action

By super cooling a molecule on the surface of brain cells down to about minus 180 degrees Celsius -; nearly twice as cold as the coldest places in Antarctica -; scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have determined how a widely-used epilepsy drug works to dampen the excitability of brain cells and help to control, although not cure, seizures.

Impact of Rare Disease Mutation Could Extend to More Prevalent Conditions

REX1 is a gene that is meant to direct the maintenance of the entire body’s DNA, but new research shows that when people are born with mutated TREX1, the DNA suffers catastrophic damage over time, resulting in a deadly rare disease known as retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukoencephalopathy (RVCL).
