To begin to explore the usefulness of the transgenic paradigm in remodeling the cardiac compartment’s contractile apparatus, we overexpressed MLC2v 11 in both cardiac compartments. The rationale was ...

Taking into consideration these muscle cells features and contractile apparatus important role in mechanical tension generation, muscle cell mechanosensor may be connected with its contractile ...

Broken UV light leads to key heart muscle cell discovery Date: January 18, 2016 Source: Vanderbilt University Medical Center Summary: For a team of investigators trying to generate heart muscle ...

Sarcomere characteristics and organization are crucial features of the contractile apparatus in cardiac and skeletal muscle cells. They change during development and disease. Assessment of sarcomere ...

We varied the level of Ca2+ sensitivity in order to obtain similar traces for contractile force between the original Kyoto model and the modified model. We also modified the new contraction model to ...

Because of damage to cardiomyocytes and the contractile apparatus, contractile reserve may be observed less frequently in hibernating than in stunned myocardium. The aim of this study was to assess ...
