Epilepsy Sparks

Who ever thought that we could find peptides in spiders 🕷️ to treat #epilepsy 🧠⚡️?! In this week’s Epilepsy Sparks Insights podcast 📹🎧, biochemist Glenn King - from the UQ Institute for Molecular Bioscience 🇦🇺 - tells us more! Cool takeaways from the episode: - Animal venoms contain peptides that modulate ion channels. - Venoms from ancient species have evolved to target similar channels in humans. - Research on venoms can lead to new treatments for neurological diseases. - The process of isolating active compounds from venoms is complex and labour-intensive. - Personalised medicine can be developed using patient-derived brain organoids. - Testing in rodent models may not always translate to human efficacy. - The timeline for drug development is typically over 10 years. - Safety testing is crucial before clinical trials can begin. - The diversity of venoms offers a rich source for drug discovery. - Understanding the pharmacology of venoms can lead to innovative treatments.

🔊 This survey about epilepsy stigma is so important! Stigma against people with an epilepsy is still a huge problem, globally, but causes and challenges vary from country to country and culture to culture! Because of this, we need to gather perspectives from people around the world to present to leaders and figure out how to effectively challenge it! Links below 👇 The survey is available in English, Malay, Spanish, Arabic, and Chinese! Have your say and please share with your friends, colleagues, and family members!
