cGAS-mediated IFN-I signaling contributes to disease progression in drug-refractory epilepsy
Yige Huang, Li Fan, Man Ying Wong…·Li Gan
This study identifies cGAS-mediated IFN-I signaling as a driver of disease progression in drug-refractory epilepsy, showing that targeting cGAS reduces epileptic phenotypes and inflammation.

APOE3-R136S mutation confers resilience against tau pathology via cGAS-STING-IFN inhibition
Sarah A. Naguib, Chloe Lopez-Lee, Eileen Ruth S. Torres…·Li Gan
The R136S mutation on APOE3 enhances resistance to tau-related pathology and toxicity by downregulating the cGAS-STING-IFN signaling pathway.

Role of inhibitory control in modulating spread of focal ictal activity
Jyun-you Liou, Hongtao Ma, Michael Wenzel…·Catherine A. Schevon
The paper investigates how inhibitory control affects the spread of focal ictal activity in a rodent model, showing that localized inhibition defects can lead to both classical and epileptic network propagation.
