Transverse tubules (T-tubules) play a significant role in muscle contraction. However, the underlying mechanism of their ...
Segments of the obliquely striated body muscle of Ascaris were fixed at minimum body length after treatment with acetylcholine and at maximum body length after treatment with piperazine citrate and ...
Numerous motor and structural proteins compose a highly ordered structure known as the sarcomere, the basic unit of muscle contraction in heart and skeletal muscles. Sarcomeric myosin heavy chain ...
The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...
SINCE Lundsgaard showed that the contractile mechanism can work without production of lactic acid and that this acid, when formed, appears mainly, perhaps entirely, after contraction is over, the one ...
About EDG-5506 EDG-5506 is an orally administered small molecule designed to prevent muscle damage induced by mechanical stress in dystrophinopathies including DMD and BMD. EDG-5506 presents a novel ...
Muscle thermodynamics; bioengineered muscle systems; molecular mechanisms of muscle contraction and regulation; mechanochemistry of molecular motor ensembles; single molecule and whole cell imaging; ...
A new study by researchers at Yale and Johns Hopkins University has discovered how asthmatic bronchial spasms — muscle contractions in the airway that cause difficulty breathing in asthma patients— ...
Osaka, Japan - Researchers at Osaka University used electron cryomicroscopy (CryoEM) to image essential cardiac muscle components, known as thin filaments, with unprecedented resolution. They also ...
