Meningeal SWI/SNF related, matrix ‐associated, actin‐dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily B member 1 (SMARCB1)‐deficient tumours: an emerging group of meningeal tumours
ConclusionsThe phenotype and genotype of these two cases did not fit diagnostically with entities already known to be SMARCB1‐deficient tumours. As both tumours shared common features, they are regarded as belonging to an emerging group of primary meningeal SMARCB1‐deficient tumours, not described to date. To facilitate the identification and characterization of these tumours, we recommend SMARCB1 immunohistochemistry for primary meningeal tumours which are difficult to classify, especially if immunopositive for EMA and CD34.

Distinctive genomic signature of neural and intestinal organoids from familial Parkinson's disease patient ‐derived induced pluripotent stem cells
ConclusionWe provide the first evidence that LK2GS also causes significant changes in gene expression in the intestinal cells. These hNES and hIO models from the same genetic background of PD patients could be invaluable resources for understanding PD pathophysiology and for advancing the complexity of in vitro models with 3D expandable organoids.This article is protected by copyright.

Locus coeruleus at asymptomatic early and middle Braak stages of neurofibrillary tangle pathology
ConclusionsComplex alteration of several metabolic pathways occurs in the LC accompanying NFT formation at early and middle asymptomatic stages of NFT pathology. Dopaminergic/noradrenergic denervation and increased expression of α2A adrenergic receptor in the hippocampus and amygdala occur at first stages of NFT pathology, suggesting compensatory activation in the face of decreased adrenergic input occurring before clinical evidence of cognitive impairment and depression.This article is protected by copyright.

Review: Roles for astrocytes in epilepsy: insights from malformations of cortical development
Malformations of cortical development (MCDs), such as cortical dysplasia and tuberous sclerosis complex, are common causes of intractable epilepsy, especially in paediatric patients. Recently, mounting evidence points to a common pathology of these disorders. Hyperactivation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) has been proposed as a central mechanism in most, if not all, MCDs. The transition from mTOR hyperactivation and cellular abnormalities to large‐scale functional changes and seizure is, however, not fully understood. In this article we set out to review currently available information regarding MCD pathology, f...
