	SPINE :: Home
		Structural Proteomics In Europe (SPINE) is an integrated research project which brings together some of the top European structural biology institutions in an unprecedented collaborative effort to develop new methods and technologies for high-throughput structural biology.
		SPINE is funded within Framework V of the European Commission for three years from 1 October 2002 and co-ordinated by Professor Dave Stuart, Division of Structural Biology, University of Oxford.
		The project is funded by the European Commission as the SPINE, contract-no. QLG2-CT-2002-00988 under the RTD programme "Quality of Life and Management of Living Resources".

	Cactus Spines
		To be truly leaf-like, spine primordia should occur at the points of intersection of two sets of Fibonacci spirals centered on the axillary bud apical meristem just as ordinary leaves occur at the intersection points of spirals centered on the shoot apical meristem.
		The benefit of such spines definitely appears to be blocking sunlight and thus preventing the plant from over heating, the chlorophyll from being bleached and the plant's DNA from being damaged.
		In other species, the spines are flat, thin and papery, being too flexible to deter animals, but broad enough to shade the plant (as well as to camouflage the cacti among the grasses with which it grows).

	Spine (biology) - Definition, explanation
		A spine is a rigid, pointed surface protrubance or needle-like structure on an animal, shell, or plant, presumably serving as a defense against attack by predators.
		Although spines generally serve as a passive defense mechanism, in some species they can be hollow and contain poisonous substances that cause lasting pain or even paralysis.

		The spinal cord is a long, fragile tubelike structure that begins at the end of the brain stem and continues down almost to the bottom of the spine (spinal column).
		The spinal cord and meninges are contained in the spinal canal, which runs through the center of the spine.
		In most adults, the spine is composed of 26 vertebrae, which are the individual bones of the back.

		In most cases two forms of spines can be distinguished: central spines that are located close to t he apex of the areole, and radial spines which grow around the circumference of the areole apex.
		Spines that are curved into a hook are found in many species of the Mammillarias.
		White spines reflect sunlight away from the plant, (and all spines provide shade) reducing the potential for damage from excess solar radiation.

	NCMIR: Biology Projects
		Dendritic spines are a good example of a structure falling between the resolution gap of light and electron microscopy: they are too small to be resolved sufficiently at the light microscope yet they are too large to be contained within single thin EM sections.
		Spines are labile structures, changing their size, shape and number during development and in response to environmental stimuli, and are thought to be key structures in mediating synaptic plasticity.
		In particular, spines projecting in the axial plane, in front and behind the dendritic shaft, may be obscured by the shaft and the degree of obfuscation will be related to the length of the spine, the size of the spine head and the diameter of the dendritic shaft.

	Spinal fusion alternatives
		There are a couple of alternatives to spine fusion surgery that may be considered for patients with low back pain from lumbar degenerative disc disease.
		The goal of artificial disc replacement surgery is to preserve the normal motion of the spine (unlike fusion, which eliminates motion at the painful spinal segment).
		Researchers in cellular and molecular biology are exploring ways to use gene therapy to stimulate regeneration of the vertebral disc and/or to slow or prevent degeneration of the disc.

		Mechanical properties of the spine have been characterized from previous in vitro studies on the spine and spinal implants.
		Additionally, it is unknown whether synthetic intradiscal implants, bone grafts and intervertebral disc prostheses that are used clinically, are mechanically sufficient to withstand the compressive loading in the lumbar spine during normal activities.
		An implant whose intrinsic compressive strength is not sufficient to withstand the load placed on the spine is not mechanically suitable as an intradiscal spacer.
