Stomatocytosis is absent in "stomatin"-deficient murine red blood cells. (1/116)

To examine the relationship between erythrocyte membrane protein 7. 2b deficiency and the hemolytic anemia of human hereditary stomatocytosis, we created 7.2b knock-out mice by standard gene targeting approaches. Immunoblots showed that homozygous knock-out mice completely lacked erythrocyte protein 7.2b. Despite the absence of protein 7.2b, there was no hemolytic anemia and mouse red blood cells (RBCs) were normal in morphology, cell indices, hydration status, monovalent cation content, and ability to translocate lipids. The absence of the phenotype of hereditary stomatocytosis implies that protein 7.2b deficiency plays no direct role in the etiology of this disorder and casts doubt on the previously proposed role of this protein as a mediator of cation transport in RBC.  (+info)

Familial pseudohyperkalemia maps to the same locus as dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis (hereditary xerocytosis). (2/116)

Familial pseudohyperkalemia is a "leaky red blood cell" condition in which the cells show a temperature-dependent loss of potassium (K) from red blood cells when stored at room temperature, manifesting as apparent hyperkalemia. The red blood cells show a reduced lifespan in vivo but there is no frank hemolysis. Studies of cation content and transport show a marginal increase in permeability at 37 degrees C and a degree of cellular dehydration, qualitatively similar to the changes seen in dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis (hereditary xerocytosis). Physiological studies have shown that the passive leak to K has an abnormal temperature dependence, such that the leak is less sensitive to temperature than that in normal cells. We performed genetic mapping on the original family and found that the condition in this kindred maps to the same locus (16q23-ter) that we have previously identified for an Irish family with dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis, which does not show the same temperature effects.  (+info)

Temperature effects on cation transport in hereditary stomatocytosis and allied disorders. (3/116)

The conditions known as 'hereditary stomatocytosis and allied syndromes' comprise a group of dominantly inherited human haemolytic anaemias characterized by a plasma membrane 'leak' to the univalent cations Na and K, an example of a small but growing group of diseases where pathology can be directly attributed to abnormal membrane transport. A number of case reports in the different variants have alluded to temperature-related phenomena, including loss of K on storage at room temperature (giving 'pseudohyperkalaemia') and lysis of cells when stored in the cold ('cryohydrocytosis'). This review collects together published studies of these temperature effects, which show very major differences in the 'leak' K transport. Two main variations on normal emerge: a 'shallow slope' type, in which the flux shows an abnormally low dependence on temperature in the range 37-20 degrees C, and 'high minimum', in which the minimum in this flux, which occurs in normal cells at 8 degrees C, is shifted up to 23 degrees C. These temperature studies provide a powerful method for phenotypic characterization.  (+info)

The presence of an RHD pseudogene containing a 37 base pair duplication and a nonsense mutation in africans with the Rh D-negative blood group phenotype. (4/116)

Antigens of the Rh blood group system are encoded by 2 homologous genes, RHD and RHCE, that produce 2 red cell membrane proteins. The D-negative phenotype is considered to result, almost invariably, from homozygosity for a complete deletion of RHD. The basis of all PCR tests for predicting fetal D phenotype from DNA obtained from amniocytes or maternal plasma is detection of the presence of RHD. These tests are used in order to ascertain the risk of hemolytic disease of the newborn. We have identified an RHD pseudogene (RHD psi) in Rh D-negative Africans. RHDpsi contains a 37 base pair (bp) insert in exon 4, which may introduce a stop codon at position 210. The insert is a sequence duplication across the boundary of intron 3 and exon 4. RHDpsi contains another stop codon in exon 6. The frequency of RHDpsi in black South Africans is approximately 0.0714. Of 82 D-negative black Africans, 66% had RHDpsi, 15% had the RHD-CE-D hybrid gene associated with the VS+ V- phenotype, and only 18% completely lacked RHD. RHDpsi is present in about 24% of D-negative African Americans and 17% of D-negative South Africans of mixed race. No RHD transcript could be detected in D-negative individuals with RHDpsi, probably as a result of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Existing PCR-based methods for predicting D phenotype from DNA are not suitable for testing Africans or any population containing a substantial proportion of people with African ethnicity. Consequently, we have developed a new test that detects the 37 bp insert in exon 4 of RHDpsi. (Blood. 2000; 95:12-18)  (+info)

Enhanced association of mutant triosephosphate isomerase to red cell membranes and to brain microtubules. (5/116)

In a Hungarian family with triosephosphate isomerase (TPI; D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate keto-isomerase, EC 5.3.1.1) deficiency, two germ-line identical, but phenotypically differing compound heterozygote brothers (one of them with neurological disorder) have been identified with the same very low (<5%) TPI activity and 20- or 40-fold higher erythrocyte dihydroxyacetone phosphate levels as compared with normal controls. Our present studies with purified TPI and hemolysates revealed the binding of TPI, and the binding of human wild-type and mutant TPIs in hemolysate, to the red cell membrane, and the interference of binding with other hemolysate proteins. The binding of the mutant TPI is enhanced as compared with the wild-type enzyme. The increased binding is influenced by both the altered structure of the mutant and the changes in the red cell membrane. Compared with binding of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, the isomerase binding is much less sensitive to ionic strength or blocking of the N-terminal tail of the band-3 transmembrane protein. The binding of TPIs to the membrane decreases the isomerase activity, resulting in extremely high dihydroxyacetone phosphate levels in deficient cells. In cell-free brain extract, tubulin copolymerizes with TPI and with other cytosolic proteins forming highly decorated microtubules as shown by immunoblot analysis with anti-TPI antibody and by electron microscopic images. The efficacy order of TPI binding to microtubules is propositus > brother without neurological disorder > normal control. This distinct microcompartmentation of mutant proteins may be relevant in the development of the neurodegenerative process in TPI deficiency and in other, more common neurological diseases.  (+info)

Survival of donor cells 25 years after intrauterine transfusion. (6/116)

Persistence of donor leukocytes in the circulation of recipients of intrauterine transfusion (IUT) has been observed up to 5 years after birth. The aim of this study was to determine whether transfusions with nonirradiated, nonleukocyte-depleted donor blood during the fetal period resulted in long-term immunomodulation of the recipient. Twenty-four surviving IUT recipients between 1966 and 1976 were tested for autoimmune disease and autoantibodies at follow-up. Ten had sex-mismatched donors and were therefore informative for chimerism studies using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Seven female recipients could be tested for chimerism using a Y- chromosome-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) because they received at least 1 IUT from a male donor. Nine recipients could be studied for cytotoxic T-lymphocyte precursor (CTLp) and helper T-lymphocyte precursor (HTLp) frequencies because the original donors were available for testing. All surviving IUT recipients were in good health at the time of the examination, and routine laboratory testing revealed no abnormalities. None of the IUT recipients were chimeric as determined by FISH analysis, but Y-chromosome-specific sequences were detected by PCR in 6 of the 7 women. However, the CTLp and HTLp frequencies of the IUT recipients against the donors were comparable to those of the controls. The current study provides evidence that IUT can result in the persistence of donor cells in the recipient for a period longer than 20 years but that it is not associated with immunotolerance or with signs of chronic antigenic stimulation.

Stomatin, flotillin-1, and flotillin-2 are major integral proteins of erythrocyte lipid rafts. (7/116)

Lipid rafts are sphingolipid- and cholesterol-rich membrane microdomains that are insoluble in nonionic detergents, have a low buoyant density, and preferentially contain lipid-modified proteins, like glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins. The lipid rafts were isolated from human erythrocytes and major protein components were identified. Apart from the GPI-anchored proteins, the most abundant integral proteins were found to be the distantly related membrane proteins stomatin (band 7.2b), flotillin-1, and flotillin-2. Flotillins, already described as lipid raft components in neurons and caveolae-associated proteins in A498 kidney cells, have not been recognized as red cell components yet. In addition, it was shown that the major cytoskeletal proteins, spectrin, actin, band 4.1, and band 4.2, are partly associated with the lipid rafts. Stomatin and the flotillins are present as independently organized high-order oligomers, suggesting that these complexes act as separate scaffolding components at the cytoplasmic face of erythrocyte lipid rafts.  (+info)

Post-transcriptional effects of interleukin-3, interferon-gamma, erythropoietin and butyrate on in vitro hemoglobin chain synthesis in congenital hemolytic anemia. (8/116)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Various agents modulate hemoglobin synthesis. In vitro modulation of translation in hemoglobin chain synthesis was analysed in patients with congenital hemolytic anemia (n=32) and healthy controls (n=17). DESIGN AND METHODS: Enriched reticulocytes were co-incubated with (3)H-leucine and cytokines or butyrate. Reversed-phase chromatography enabled separation of alpha-, beta- and gamma-globin chains. Globin chain synthesis was calculated from measured (3)H-leucine incorporation. Transferrin, erythropoietin, interleukin-3 and interferon-gamma receptors were detected by flow cytometry. Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) was used to demonstrate changes of RNA stability. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Interleukin-3, interferon-gamma and butyrate caused a significant 2-fold increase (range 1.8-2.4; p<0.01) of the alpha- and beta-chain synthesis in congenital hemolytic anaemias. Analysis of gamma-globin chain synthesis revealed a lower, i.e. 1.4 fold increase (range 1.32 to 1.41; p<0.03). The absolute amount of globin synthesis was calculated to be 2.9 x 10(-12) g/reticulocyte/24h. After incubation with interleukin-3 the absolute additional synthesis of the alpha-globin chain reached 1.31 x 10(-12) g/reticulocyte/24h, of the beta-globin chain, 1.15 x 10(-12) g/reticulocyte/24h and of the gamma-globin chain, 0.26 x 10(-12) g/reticulocyte/24h. Butyrate and interferon-gamma had no or even an inhibiting effect on reticulocytes from normal controls, while interleukin-3 stimulated alpha- and gamma-chain synthesis (1.4 and 2.4 fold, respectively; p<0.03) suggesting an increase of fetal hemoglobin (HbF). Erythropoietin showed no stimulating influence. Membrane associated interleukin-3 receptors were detected in 0.78+/-0.14%, and interferon-gamma receptors in 0.1+/-0.015% of the red cells. Erythropoietin receptors were extremely rare (0.05+/-0.015%). The expression of transferrin receptors (CD71) correlated with the extent of globin chain stimulation. The alpha-, and beta-globin mRNA content of the reticulocytes after interleukin-3 incubation, as measured by RT-PCR, increased. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS: Hemoglobin chain synthesis could be modulated post-transcriptionally by interleukin-3, interferon-gamma and butyrate. Transferrin receptor and globin RNA stability might be involved in this phenomenon.  (+info)

Hereditary hemolytic anemia, a dominantly transmitted disorder, has affected 12 family members spanning three generations. The concentration of adenosine triphosphate in the red cells was about half that of comparably reticulocyte-rich blood. Since adenosine deaminase and adenosine kinase compete for a common substrate, the greatly increased activity of the former may interfere with nucleotide salvage via the latter. ...
The etiology of severe hemolytic anemia in most patients with recessive hereditary spherocytosis (rHS) and the related disorder hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is unknown. Whole-exome sequencing of DNA from probands of 24 rHS or HPP kindreds identified numerous mutations in erythrocyte membrane α-spectrin (SPTA1). Twenty-eight mutations were novel, with null alleles frequently found in trans to missense mutations. No mutations were identified in a third of SPTA1 alleles (17/48). WGS revealed linkage disequilibrium between the common rHS-linked αBH polymorphism and a rare intron 30 variant in all 17 mutation-negative alleles. In vitro minigene studies and in vivo splicing analyses revealed the intron 30 variant changes a weak alternate branch point (BP) to a strong BP. This change leads to increased utilization of an alternate 3′ splice acceptor site, perturbing normal α-spectrin mRNA splicing and creating an elongated mRNA transcript. In vivo mRNA stability studies revealed the newly ...
The classic laboratory finding of hemolysis is anemia with an elevated reticulocyte count. The reticulocytosis reflects normal bone marrow function and occurs in response to the premature RBC destruction; reticulocytes are larger than older erythrocytes and have a blue-purple color known as polychromasia (Fig. 433-1). Reticulocytosis generally occurs 3 to 5 days after a sudden drop in hemoglobin concentration but is relatively constant in children with congenital hemolytic anemia. Making the diagnosis of hemolytic anemia begins with recognizing the constellation of signs and symptoms, then obtaining a complete blood count with reticulocyte count, and finally examining the peripheral blood smear. Additional laboratory findings supporting the diagnosis of hemolysis include elevated total serum bilirubin and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; LDH being released from RBCs during hemolysis). Intravascular hemolysis also causes decreased or undetectable levels of haptoglobin, but this test is not specific so ...
Any one of a group of congenital hemolytic anemias in which there is no abnormal hemoglobin or spherocytosis and in which there is a defect of glycolysis in the erythrocyte. Common causes include deficiencies in GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE ISOMERASE; PYRUVATE KINASE; and GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to define the hematologic response to total splenectomy (TS) or partial splenectomy (PS) in children with hereditary spherocytosis (HS) or sickle cell disease (SCD). Methods: The Splenectomy in Congenital Hemolytic Anemia (SICHA) consortium registry collected hematologic outcomes of children with CHA undergoing TS or PS to 1 year after surgery. Using random effects mixed modeling, we evaluated the association of operative type with change in hemoglobin, reticulocyte counts, and bilirubin. We also compared laparoscopic to open splenectomy. Results: The analysis included 130 children, with 62.3% (n = 81) undergoing TS. For children with HS, all hematologic measures improved after TS, including a 4.1 g/dl increase in hemoglobin. Hematologic parameters also improved after PS, although the response was less robust (hemoglobin increase 2.4 g/dl, p , 0.001). For children with SCD, there was no change in hemoglobin. Laparoscopy was not associated with differences ...
The first chapter, by Dr. Dzik, is a real treat to read. Of special note is his critical analysis of the three common assumptions: (1) Abnormal results of commonly used laboratory tests such as prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, or platelet count have predictive value to identify which patients to treat; (2) blood components administered before procedures effectively correct hemostatic abnormalities; and (3) prophylactic transfusions preprocedure are of greater benefit than therapeutic transfusions after the procedure. The rest of the chapters in the first section provide a comprehensive overview of transfusion practices in common clinical conditions such as autoimmune hemolytic anemia, congenital hemolytic anemia, acquired hemolytic anemia, congenital coagulopathies, solid organ transplantation, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, therapeutic apheresis, and the pediatric population.

This chapter is focused on the effect of natural products in pure form or characterized phytoconstituents on particularly inhibition of hemoglobin polymerization.This summarized information will be benecial for further exploration of new therapeutics in the treatment arena of SCA.Millions of people around the world, especially children, have been affected by SCA. This global burden is a growing concern nowadays as the yearly increase of newborns with SCA is expected from around three to four lakhs between and. SCA, congenital hemolytic anemia, is caused by a single amino acid substitution. This shows the way for polymerization of deoxygenated sickle hemoglobin which is the crucial step in the molecular pathogenesis of SCA.This polymerization alters the RBC rheology by changing its surface property, membrane damage, and dehydration of RBC.Potassium chloride cotransport and calciumactivated potassium efux are generally involved during the process of RBC dehydration. During this process, shape of ...

The Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) compendium of human genes and genetic phenotypes includes three types of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia as reported in Table 1. A comprehensive overview of these disorders has been published recently.1. Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type II is the most common of these inherited disorders. Typical morphological abnormalities of this condition are shown in Figure 1: these abnormalities clearly indicate that incomplete cytokinesis is one of the key features of erythroid cells in this condition.. More than 30 years ago, we investigated the pathophysiology of anemia in patients with congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type II in studies of iron kinetics.2 A wide variation in effectiveness of erythroid activity was observed, and a significant inverse relationship was found between ineffective erythropoiesis and peripheral hemolysis. In 4 patients with prominent peripheral hemolysis, splenectomy was carried out. Marked improvement in their ...
Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type II (CDA II), or hereditary erythroblastic multinuclearity with positive acidified serum lysis test (HEMPAS) is a rare genetic anemia in humans characterized by hereditary erythroblastic multinuclearity with positive acidified serum lysis test. CDA type II is caused by mutations in the SEC23B gene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein that is involved in the transport of other proteins within cells. During the development of red blood cells, this protein may help ensure that proteins are transported to the areas where they are needed. Researchers are working to determine how mutations in the SEC23B gene lead to the signs and symptoms of CDA type II. Analyses of CDA II erythrocyte membranes showed that the band 3 glycoprotein is underglycosylated. An aberrant glycosylation pattern is seen in the polylactosamine carbohydrates which are normally attached to the band 3 and band 4.5 glycoproteins. The polylactosamines are, however, accumulated ...

The congenital dyserythropoietic anemias are a heterogeneous group of rare disorders primarily affecting erythropoiesis with characteristic morphological abnormalities and a block in erythroid maturation. Mutations in the CDAN1 gene, which encodes Codanin-1, underlie the majority of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type I cases. However, no likely pathogenic CDAN1 mutation has been detected in approximately 20% of cases, suggesting the presence of at least one other locus. We used whole genome sequencing and segregation analysis to identify a homozygous T to A transversion (c.533T|A), predicted to lead to a p.L178Q missense substitution in C15ORF41, a gene of unknown function, in a consanguineous pedigree of Middle-Eastern origin. Sequencing C15ORF41 in other CDAN1 mutation-negative congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type I pedigrees identified a homozygous transition (c.281A|G), predicted to lead to a p.Y94C substitution, in two further pedigrees of SouthEast Asian origin. The haplotype surrounding
The non-spherocytic hemolytic anemias comprise a seemingly diverse group of diseases intrinsic to the red cell when they are contrasted with the better known congenital hemolytic anemias, such as hereditary spherocytosis. Knowledge of their inheritance, course, and pathogenesis is incomplete. Since initially defined by Dacie (1) in 1953 as atypical congenital hemolytic anemia the general characteristics of this syndrome have been outlined (2, 3): [1] although hereditary, the anemia affects siblings rather than parents within a family; [2] the erythrocytes tend to be macrocytic, and spherocytes are absent; [3] the osmotic fragility of fresh native blood is not increased; [4] ...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type III (CDA-III) is a group of very rare disorders characterized by similar bone marrow morphology. The clinical picture is characterized by hemolytic anemia and dramatic bone marrow changes dominated by active erythropoiesis with big multinucleated erythroblasts. The aim of this review is to describe the clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, and management CDA-III. EVIDENCE AND INFORMATION SOURCES: The present review critically examines relevant articles and abstracts published in journals covered by the Science Citation Index and Medline. The authors have performed several studies on CDA-III. STATE OF ART AND PERSPECTIVES: The clinical and laboratory manifestations of CDA-III indicate that the gene responsible for it, which has been mapped to chromosome 15q22, is expressed not only in erythroblasts during mitosis but also in B-cells, and in cells of the retina. Preliminary results indicate genetic and phenotypic ...
Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) is a rare blood disorder, similar to the thalassemias. CDA is one of many types of anemia, characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis, and resulting from a decrease in the number of red blood cells (RBCs) in the body and a less than normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood. The symptoms and signs of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia are consistent with: Tiredness (fatigue) Weakness Pale skin CDA may be transmitted by both parents autosomal recessively or dominantly and has four different subtypes, CDA Type I, CDA Type II, CDA Type III, and CDA Type IV . CDA type II (CDA II) is the most frequent type of congenital dyserythropoietic anemias. More than 300 cases have been described, but with the exception of a report by the International CDA II Registry, these reports include only small numbers of cases and no data on the lifetime evolution of the disease. The diagnosis of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia can be done via sequence analysis of the ...
Hereditary Spherocytosis: A familial congenital hemolytic anemia characterized by numerous abnormally shaped erythrocytes which are generally spheroidal. The erythrocytes have increased osmotic fragility and are abnormally permeable to sodium ions.
Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) is a rare group of red blood cell disorders characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis and increased iron absorption. To determine whether growth differentation factor 15 (GDF15) hyper-expression is associated with the ineffective erythropoiesis and iron-loading complications of CDA type I (CDA I), GDF15 levels and other markers of erythropoiesis and iron overload were studied in blood from 17 CDA I patients. Significantly higher levels of GDF15 were detected among the CDA I patients (10 239 +/- 3049 pg/mL) compared with healthy volunteers (269 +/- 238 pg/mL). In addition, GDF15 correlated significantly with several erythropoietic and iron parameters including Hepcidin-25, Ferritin, and Hepcidin-25/Ferritin ratios. These novel results suggest that CDA I patients express very high levels of serum GDF15, and that GDF15 contributes to the inappropriate suppression of hepcidin with subsequent secondary hemochromatosis ...

The clinical and haematological features of an unusual case of congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia are described. There was a pronounced haemolytic component to the anaemia, with a mean cell life of five days, and a remarkable response to splenectomy. Measurement of the incorporation of 15N glycine into the haem of circulating red cells and into bilirubin showed that haem turnover due to ineffective erythropoiesis was increased 45 times compared with a control group (11.63 mg/kg/day, NR = 0.26 + 0-10) and represented 51% of total erythroid haem turnover.. ...

The sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a hereditary hemolytic anemia. The polymerization of hemoglobin S (HbS) in the deoxygenated state in sickle cell disease (SCD) is the watershed event leading to vase- occlusion, factors that retard the transit time of sickle erythrocytes in the microcirculation and the cell s adhesive properties. The change in shape is responsible for the enhancing of adhesion in endothelial cells and vase occlusion impeding the blood flux to tissues (1) .The vascular occlusion is the result of a fall in oxygen tension in cells presenting a major density (2). The researches in electronic microscopy had been shown that the irreversible sickle cells does not have almost anything of polymerized hemoglobin and so still retains the sickle shape. The sickle shape occurs because the protein fixation in membrane cytoskeleton and they must not be responsible for the irreversibility shape of sickle cell. (3). these processes are dependent of sickle hemoglobin concentration. Thus, the ...
Knowledge of RBC membrane structure is important because defects in its structure underlie multiple IHAs [16]. The human RBC membrane consists of three basic components: a lipid bilayer, transmembrane linker proteins, and a two-dimensional spectrin-based cytoskeleton network [171819]. Connections of the two layers depend on different linker proteins with binding sites, respectively, for the cytoplasmic domains of the integral membrane proteins (band 3 and glycophorin C) embedded in the lipid bilayer and specific regions of spectrin proteins in the cytoskeleton (Fig. 1). RBC membranopathies are the result of qualitative abnormalities or quantitative deficiencies of the RBC cytoskeletal proteins and can be divided into those resulting from structural protein loss including HS, hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) and hereditary ovalocytosis and membrane transport dysfunction (hereditary stomatocytosis) (Fig. 2) [1620]. Defects that interrupt the vertical structure (spectrin-actin interaction) underlie ...

Ion channels are transmembrane proteins that allow ions to move in or out of cells, and they are vital to a range of biological processes. They can be opened and closed in a number of ways: for example, some are opened by voltage, while others respond to the binding of ligands. Piezo1 and Piezo2 are mechanosensitive ion channels: in other words, they open in response to mechanical stimulation, such as stretching or shear stress (Coste et al., 2010, 2012).. Mutations in the gene Piezo1 have been linked to a blood disease called xerocytosis that leads to hemolytic anemia (Albuisson et al., 2013; Bae et al., 2013; Coste et al., 2013; Zarychanski et al., 2013). It is known that these mutations reduce the ability of the Piezo1 ion channel to close, and this leads to red blood cells shrinking as a result of dehydration. However, the details of this process are not fully understood. Now, in a pair of papers in eLife, Ardem Patapoutian, Michael Bandell and colleagues at the Scripps Research Institute, ...
