COVID-19 can kill heart muscle cells, interfere with contraction Study reveals details of how coronavirus infects heart; models of tissue damage may help develop potential therapies Date: March 2 ...

Since early in the pandemic, COVID-19 has been associated with heart problems, including reduced ability to pump blood and abnormal heart rhythms.

A peptide encoded by a transcript annotated as long noncoding RNA enhances SERCA activity in muscle. Science, 2016; 351 (6270): 271 DOI: 10.1126/science.aad4076 ...

Heart damage in Covid-19 patients is caused by the novel coronavirus infecting cardiac muscle cells, leading to cell death which interferes with the muscle's contraction, according to a study that ...

A new study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis provides evidence that COVID-19 patients' heart damage is caused by the virus invading and replicating inside heart muscle ...

This new study is the first to identify specific “sweet taste” receptors, known as TAS1R2 and TAS1R3, on the surface of heart muscle cells. Racing heart ...

Heart damage in Covid-19 patients is caused by the novel coronavirus infecting cardiac muscle cells, leading to cell death which interferes with the muscle's contraction, according to a study that ...

But we're proposing a more direct consequence, where we have a spike in our blood sugar after eating a meal, and that's binding to these sweet taste receptors on the heart muscle cells, causing a ...

Osaka University team uses advanced electron cryomicroscopy and image analysis to reveal the structure of vital muscle thin filaments in the heart with the highest resolution ever. This work is ...

Models of muscle contraction are typically based on a measured force-velocity relation embodied as Hill's contractile element [1]. Adopting a particular force-velocity relation dictates the muscle's ...
