BetaII-spectrin gaps and patches emerge from the patterned assembly of the actin/spectrin membrane skeleton in human motor neuron axons

The actin/spectrin membrane-associated periodic skeleton (MPS) is a cytoskeletal structure that supports axonal integrity and function. Lower spinal motor neurons (MNs) are characterized by exceptionally long axons and are particularly susceptible to degeneration in a wide range...
