Contractile proteins are proteins that mediate sliding of contractile fibres (contraction) of a cell’s cytoskeleton, and of cardiac and skeletal muscle. Heart and muscle contractile fibres ...

This occurs through a physiologic process that leads to an increased number of contractile proteins (actin and myosin) in each muscle fiber. With the right training regimen, you can catalyze this ...

Adult human hearts possess limited regenerative abilities, so losing cardiomyocytes (CMs) after injury can result in contractile dysfunction ... the adherens junction protein N-Cadherin as a ...

Generally, training-induced adaptations in skeletal muscle are seen as changes in contractile proteins, mitochondrial function, metabolic regulation, intracellular signalling, transcriptional ...

The enzymes troponin I and troponin T are normal proteins that are important in the contractile apparatus of the cardiac myocyte. The proteins are released into the circulation between 3 and 4 ...

What was known though, is that these PVCs resemble structures used by bacteriophages, viruses that use contractile tails to inject their genetic material into bacteria. “We suspected that the PVCs ...

A study by Kindai University researchers shows that neurons adapt their migration strategies based on environmental ...

Their work focuses on congenital heart diseases such as dysfunction of cardiac ion channels (channelopathies) and contractile proteins (cardiomyopathies), both of which can result in arrhythmias and ...
