Mechanical damage to the muscle cell membrane and defective function of stretch-activated Ca 2+ channels permit unregulated or misregulated entry of Ca 2+ into dystrophic muscle fibers from the ...

WASHINGTON-(Aug. 27, 2018)-Healthy muscle cells rely on the protein dysferlin to properly repair the sarcolemmal membrane, a thin specialized membrane that serves a vital role in ensuring that ...

To prevent irreparable damage, muscle cells have efficient systems to seal these holes again. ... Feb. 15, 2021 — Lipids are the building blocks of a cell's envelope - the cell membrane.

The heartbeat is carried out by specialized heart muscle cells called cardiomyocytes that can neither divide nor renew themselves. As a result, the loss of a large number of these cells, as in the ...

In this study, the researchers wanted to know more about how lipid species are related to cells that are subjected to a lot of physical stress, like muscles. In muscles, a PCYT2 deficiency was found ...

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.

Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap bubble. Cells are easily damaged by physiological activities, including muscle contraction and tissue ...
