Olivera, Baldomero M. | ?O-Conotoxins inhibit NaV channels by interfering with their voltage sensors in domain-2 | The ?O-conotoxins MrVIA and MrVIB are 31-residue peptides from Conus marmoreus, belonging to the O-superfamily of conotoxins with three disulfide bridges. They have attracted attention because they are inhibitors of tetrodotoxin-insensitive voltage-gated sodium channels (NaV1.8) and could therefore ... | | 2007 |

Jorgensen, Erik | Axons break in animals lacking B-spectrin | Axons and dendrites can withstand acute mechanical strain despite their small diameter. In this study, we demonstrate that β-spectrin is required for the physical integrity of neuronal processes in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Axons in β-spectrin mutants spontaneously break. | | 2007 |

Schmidt, Meic H. | Castleman disease of the spine mimicking a nerve sheath tumor | Castleman disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disease of unknown cause. In most cases, afflicted patients present with a mediastinal mass although the disease may manifest in numerous other sites, including intracranially and rarely intraspinally. The authors report on the case of a 19-year-old wo... | Castleman disease; Nerve sheath tumor | 2007 |

Couldwell, William T.; Jensen, Randy L.; Gillespie, David L. | Celecoxib inhibits meningioma tumor growth in a mouse xenograft model | Background: Treatments for recurrent meningiomas are limited. We previously demonstrated universal expression of COX-2 in meningiomas and dose-dependent growth inhibition in vitro with celecoxib, a COX-2 inhibitor. We therefore tested the effects of celecoxib on meningioma growth in a mouse xenograf... | Meningioma; Cyclooxygenase-2; COX-2; Celecoxib | 2007 |

Ostafin, Agnes | Combined deletion of mouse dematin-headpiece and ß-adducin exerts a novel effect on the spectrin-actin junctions leading to erythrocyte fragility and hemolytic Anemia | Dematin and adducin are actin-binding proteins of the erythrocyte "junctional complex." Individually, they exert modest effects on erythrocyte shape and membrane stability, and their homologues are expressed widely in non-erythroid cells. Here we report generation and characterization of double knoc... | | 2007 |
