The sarcomere is the most basic contractile unit in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Mutations in genes encoding sarcomeric proteins give rise to heritable myopathies, although muscle function is more ...

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 ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas are the first to use genetically engineered mice containing a fluorescent molecule to examine in real time the chemical reactions that result in ...

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a leading cause of heart failure, is twice as common in Black individuals as in white ...

Cardiac muscle tissue is only found in your heart. It performs involuntary, coordinated contractions that allow your heart to pump blood through your circulatory system. Cardiac muscle tissue is one ...

Researchers from Harvard and Emory University report that they have developed the first fully-autonomous biohybrid fish from human stem-cell derived cardiac muscle cells. The artificial fish swims by ...

The paper by Parmley et al. in this issue calls attention to the possible therapeutic use of glucagon in view of its possible inotropic and chronotropic effects in man. Such effects have previously ...

The Moore lab investigates how proteins build contractile systems that power cells and whole organisms. Collaboratively, we connect molecular mechanisms to tissue-level performance using ...
