Recent progress and challenges in gene therapy for pharmacoresistant focal epilepsy.

Summary: Sometimes, medicines just don't work to stop seizures. This is a big problem for many people with epilepsy. Lately, scientists have been testing a new idea: gene therapy. They have tested it in mice and rats, and it looks very promising! But moving from animal tests to human treatments is hard. Before doctors can use this in clinics, they still need to figure out the exact right dose, the best way to get the new genes into the brain, and how to treat different causes of epilepsy.
