Grant Activity:
A new model of ß-Spectrin function: understanding how the skin protects neurons from damage
Purpose:
The spectrin cytoskeleton is thought to function like a spring within neurons to allow them to bend and stretch – protecting them from damage induced by mechanical stress. Human mutations in spectrins cause severe neurological disorders with debilitating symptoms. We propose that spectrins function in tissue surrounding neurons to protect them from damage, and not within them as previously thought. This could revolutionise our understanding of disorders associated with spectrin dysfunction.
