Cardiac muscle tissue is one of the three types of muscle in your body. It’s only found in your heart, where it’s involved in coordinated contractions to allow your heart to pump blood through ...

Researchers at Osaka University used electron cryomicroscopy (CryoEM) to image essential cardiac muscle components, known as thin filaments, with unprecedented resolution. They also discovered the ...

The middle layer, called the myocardium, is largely cardiac muscle. It’s also the thickest of the three layers. Cardiac muscle is a special type of muscle tissue that’s only found in your heart.

Researchers use CryoEM to visualize the most detailed images of cardiac muscle thin filaments to date, revealing for the first time structural changes that regulate heart beat function, with ...

Moreover, while the deficiency in the ribosomal protein, known as RPL3L, altered translation dynamics for the entire tissue, its effects were most pronounced for proteins related cardiac muscle ...
