In muscle cells, the ER and the plasma membrane – the outer membrane of the cell – meet at periodic contact sites, an arrangement controlled by a molecule called junctophilin. Using high ...

Cardiomyocytes consist of a complex membrane system that is subjected to high mechanical stress during heart muscle ...

A new study has unveiled a precise picture of how an ion channel found in most mammalian cells regulates its own function ...

muscle cells, ciliated cells, and villi. Get it, lark? Anyone…? Okay let's move on. An animal cell is made of three main parts a nucleus, cell membrane and cytoplasm, which holds the rest of its ...

For instance, neurotransmitters are a class of short-range signaling molecules that travel across the tiny spaces between adjacent neurons or between neurons and muscle cells. Other signaling ...

In SMA, mitochondria in the skeletal muscles involved in voluntary movements don’t work properly, possibly contributing to the disease’s symptoms.
