| 2 |  | 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 | |

| 10 |  | Tasdizen, Tolga; Whitaker, Ross T. | Automatic assembly of TEM mosaics and mosaic stacks using phase correlation | This paper discusses automatic Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) image registration, TEM slice assembly via tile mosaicking, and TEM volume assembly via slice to slice registration. Several algorithms are presented, including an algorithm for mosaic layout of an unordered set of tiles, an algor... | 2007 | |
| 11 |  | 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 | |
