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 ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by 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 ...

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 ...
