About this Research Topic
In this Research Topic, we are aiming to broadly address the molecular mechanisms and the current standing and progress, as well as novel channelopathy treatment approaches related to ion channels and transporters, with regard to epilepsy. We welcome all original research papers and review submissions on, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Candidate ion channel or transporter gene analysis on genetic epilepsy.
- Studies on novel cellular and molecular mechanism which has potential pharmacological translational significance.
- Investigating large and well-characterized patient cohorts which bring novel insights into epileptic channelopathies.
- Investigating potential novel therapeutic approaches to channelopathies in epilepsy, such as bioactive molecules and nutraceutical, iPS cells and organoids.
Contributions from leading international investigators will guarantee a broad and comprehensive understanding of the molecular basis underlying genetic epilepsy caused by mutations in ion channels and transporters, as well as related clinical problems. We hope that you will find it of interest and submit your valuable research.
