Paradoxical signaling regulates structural plasticity in dendritic spines [PDF]
, 2016Transient spine enlargement (3-5 min timescale) is an important event associated with the structural plasticity of dendritic spines. Many of the molecular mechanisms associated with transient spine enlargement have been identified experimentally. Here, we use a systems biology approach to construct a mathematical model of biochemical signaling and ...

Synaptic nanomodules underlie the organization and plasticity of spine synapses. [PDF]
Nature Neuroscience, 2018Experience results in long-lasting changes in dendritic spine size, yet how the molecular architecture of the synapse responds to plasticity remains poorly understood. Here a combined approach of multicolor stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED)

A strong law of large numbers for branching processes: almost sure spine events [PDF]
arXiv, 2013We demonstrate a novel strong law of large numbers for branching processes, with a simple proof via measure-theoretic manipulations and spine theory. Roughly speaking, any sequence of events that eventually occurs almost surely for the spine entails the almost sure convergence of a certain sum over particles in the population.

Acoustic Power Absorption and its Relation with Vector Magnetic Field of a Sunspot [PDF]
, 2010The distribution of acoustic power over sunspots shows an enhanced absorption near the umbra--penumbra boundary. Earlier studies revealed that the region of enhanced absorption coincides with the region of strongest transverse potential field. The aim of this paper is to (i) utilize the high-resolution vector magnetograms derived using Hinode SOT/SP ...

Traumatic Bilateral Pars Fracture with Grade-I Spondylolisthesis Treated by Transforaminal (Trans Kambian) Endo Fusion under Epidural Analgesia: A Special Case Report [PDF]
Journal of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery and Technique, 2022Traumatic spine injuries are common in young and adult population with worlds incidence estimated annual rate in 10.4–130.6 cases per million. We are presenting a case of traumatic bilateral pars fracture with Grade-I spondylolisthesis treated by ...

Patient-Matched 3-D-Printed Guides for the Insertion of Cervical Pedicle Screws in Tumor Surgery
Case Reports in Surgery, 2021Background. Pedicle screw fixation in the cervical spine provides biomechanical advantages compared to other stabilization techniques. However, pedicle screw insertion in this area is challenging due to the anatomical conditions with a high risk of ...
