Open AccessTargeting pathological cells with senolytic drugs reduces seizures in neurodevelopmental mTOR-related epilepsy
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-zy...

Oncological, cognitive, and employment outcomes in a series of patients with IDH-mutated glioma resected following neoadjuvant chemotherapy
Maximal safe tumor resection is the first line of treatment for IDH-mutated gliomas. However, when upfront surgical resection is deemed unsatisfactory due to tumor size and location, chemotherapy could represe...

Atypical evolution of meningiomatosis after discontinuation of cyproterone acetate: clinical cases and histomolecular characterization
The long-term use of cyproterone acetate (CPA) is associated with an increased risk of develo** intracranial meningiomas. CPA discontinuation most often induces a stabilization or regression of the tumor. Th...
