Naturally occurring plant polyphenols as potential therapies for inherited neuromuscular diseases (2013)
Journal Article
Fuller, H. R., Humphrey, E. L., & Morris, G. E. (2013). Naturally occurring plant polyphenols as potential therapies for inherited neuromuscular diseases. Future Medicinal Chemistry, 5(17), 2091-2101. https://doi.org/10.4155/fmc.13.165

There are several lines of laboratory-based evidence emerging to suggest that purified polyphenol compounds such as resveratrol, found naturally in red grapes, epigallocatechin galate from green tea and curcumin from turmeric, might be useful for the...

The gemin2-binding site on SMN protein: Accessibility to antibody (2013)
Journal Article
Lam, L. T., Fuller, H. R., & Morris, G. E. (2013). The gemin2-binding site on SMN protein: Accessibility to antibody. Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 438(4), 624-627. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbrc.2013.08.005

Reduced levels of SMN (survival-of-motor-neurons) protein are the cause of spinal muscular atrophy, an inherited disorder characterised by loss of motor neurons in early childhood. SMN associates with more than eight other proteins to form an RNA-bin... Read More about The gemin2-binding site on SMN protein: Accessibility to antibody.

Valproate reduces collagen and osteonectin in cultured bone cells (2013)
Journal Article
Humphrey, E. L., Morris, G. E., & Fuller, H. R. (2013). Valproate reduces collagen and osteonectin in cultured bone cells. Epilepsy Research, 106(3), 446-450. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eplepsyres.2013.06.011

Valproate is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that was introduced more than 40 years ago and is commonly used to treat epilepsy and mood disorders. Its long-term side effects can include bone loss, although the exact mechanism for this is curre... Read More about Valproate reduces collagen and osteonectin in cultured bone cells.

Stathmin is enriched in the developing corticospinal tract
Journal Article
Fuller, H. R., Slade, R., Jovanov-Milošević, N., Babić, M., Sedmak, G., Šimić, G., …Gates, M. A. (2015). Stathmin is enriched in the developing corticospinal tract. Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, 12-21. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mcn.2015.09.003

Understanding the intra- and extracellular proteins involved in the development of the corticospinal tract (CST) may offer insights into how the pathway could be regenerated following traumatic spinal cord injury. Currently, however, little is known... Read More about Stathmin is enriched in the developing corticospinal tract.
