Supercritical Angle Fluorescence and Raman Techniques in Biophotonics

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Supercritical angle fluorescence (SAF) microscopy and supercritical angle Raman (SAR) spectroscopy have emerged as powerful tools in the field of biophotonics, enabling high‐resolution imaging and spectroscopy of biological specimens near interfaces. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the principles, techniques, applications, and ...

β‐Aminoisobutyric Acid Alleviates Cisplatin‐Induced Muscle Atrophy by Regulating E3 Ubiquitin Ligases, Apoptosis, Amino Acid Metabolism, Autophagy, and Ferroptosis

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cisplatin (CIS) is a widely used broad‐spectrum anticancer agent, but its clinical application is often limited by severe adverse effects, including skeletal muscle atrophy, which compromises patients' quality of life and treatment efficacy.

Distinct functions of α-Spectrin and β-Spectrin during axonal pathfinding [PDF]

Development, 2007
Cell-shape changes during development require a precise coupling of the cytoskeleton with proteins situated in the plasma membrane. Important elements controlling the shape of cells are the Spectrin proteins that are expressed as a subcortical cytoskeletal meshwork linking specific membrane receptors with F-actin fibers.

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

Mechanical characterization of spectrin at the molecular level

Scientific Reports
Spectrin, a large cytoskeletal protein, consists of a heterodimeric structure comprising α and β subunits. Here, we have studied the mechanics of spectrin filament as a major constituent of dendrites and dendritic spines.

With Regard to the Expression Status of Sarcolemmal Aquaporin 4 in Human Muscular Dystrophies

Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human muscular dystrophies are inherited muscle‐wasting diseases caused by the various kinds of gene mutations. Among them, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a representative type. Before the discovery of the causative dystrophin gene of DMD, the fragile myofiber plasma membrane was thought to be the trigger of myofiber necrosis in DMD ...

Axonal Spectrins: Nanoscale Organization, Functional Domains and Spectrinopathies

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
Spectrin cytoskeletons are found in all metazoan cells, and their physical interactions between actin and ankyrins establish a meshwork that provides cellular structural integrity.

Beta IV spectrin inhibits the metastatic growth of melanoma by suppressing VEGFR2‐driven tumor angiogenesis

Cancer Medicine, 2023
Background Tumor‐associated angiogenesis mediates the growth and metastasis of most solid cancers. Targeted therapies of the VEGF pathways can effectively block these processes but often fail to provide lasting benefits due to acquired resistance and ...

Diagnosis and Management of Prenatal Hereditary Pyropoikilocytosis

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is a severe hemolytic anemia caused by variants in SPTA1, SPTB, and EPB41. These weaken horizontal interactions in the erythrocyte cytoskeleton, causing membrane fragmentation and splenic sequestration. It will readily cause fetal anemia and often hydrops fetalis. Prenatal diagnosis requires first ruling out

Loss of Expression of Human Spectrin Src Homology Domain Binding Protein 1 is Associated with 10p Loss in Human Prostatic Adenocarcinoma

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2001
The gene encoding human spectrin Src homology domain binding protein 1, or Hssh3bpl, which is a marker of macropinocytic vesicles and a potential regulator of macropinocytosis, co-localizes to a YAC containing chromosome 10p sequences at loci D10S89 and ...
