Differential neuroproteomic and systems biology analysis of spinal cord injury [PDF]
, 2016 Acute spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition with many consequences and no known effective treatment. Although it is quite easy to diagnose traumatic SCI, the assessment of injury severity and projection of disease progression or recovery ...

Spectrin-based membrane skeleton supports ciliogenesis.
PLoS Biology, 2019 Cilia are remarkable cellular devices that power cell motility and transduce extracellular signals. To assemble a cilium, a cylindrical array of 9 doublet microtubules push out an extension of the plasma membrane.

β-spectrinBari: a truncated β-chain responsible for dominant hereditary spherocytosis
Haematologica, 2009 We describe a β-spectrin variant, named β-spectrin Bari, characterized by a truncated chain and associated with hereditary spherocytosis. The clinical phenotype consists of a moderately severe hemolytic anemia, splenomegaly, and spherocytes and ...

The actin binding domain of βI-spectrin regulates the morphological and functional dynamics of dendritic spines. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Actin microfilaments regulate the size, shape and mobility of dendritic spines and are in turn regulated by actin binding proteins and small GTPases. The βI isoform of spectrin, a protein that links the actin cytoskeleton to membrane proteins, is present

Severe hereditary spherocytosis presenting with non-immune fetal hydrops
Indian Pediatrics Case Reports, 2023 Background: Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is characterized by spherocytes on the peripheral smear and heterogeneous clinical presentation (mild, moderate, moderate/severe, and severe) depending upon the severity of hemolytic anemia, jaundice, and ...

Addressing the needs of traumatic brain injury with clinical proteomics. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundNeurotrauma or injuries to the central nervous system (CNS) are a serious public health problem worldwide. Approximately 75% of all traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are concussions or other mild TBI (mTBI) forms.
