Splenosis
|
D017890 |
[The spontaneous transplantation of splenic tissue to unusual sites after open splenic trauma, e.g., after automobile accidents, gunshot or stab wounds.

Spliceosomes
|
D017381 |
[Organelles in which the splicing and excision reactions that remove introns from precursor messenger RNA molecules occur. One component of a spliceosome is five small nuclear RNA molecules (U1, U2, U4, U5, U6) that, working in conjunction with proteins, help to fold pieces of RNA into the right shapes and later splice them into the message.

|
Splicing Factor U2AF
|
D000072668 |
[An RNA splicing factor that performs a critical function in both constitutive and enhancer-dependent RNA SPLICING. It recruits RIBONUCLEOPROTEIN, U2 SMALL NUCLEAR to the splice site and mediates interactions between it, the RNA molecule, and other splicing factors for accurate 3'-splice site selection.

|
Spondylarthropathies

D025242 |
[Heterogeneous group of arthritic diseases sharing clinical and radiologic features. They are associated with the HLA-B27 ANTIGEN and some with a triggering infection. Most involve the axial joints in the SPINE, particularly the SACROILIAC JOINT, but can also involve asymmetric peripheral joints. Subsets include ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS; REACTIVE ARTHRITIS; PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS; and others.
