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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dynamic membrane repair and remodelling is an elemental process that maintains cell integrity and mediates efficient cellular function. Here we report that MG53, a muscle-specific tripartite motif ...

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 ...
