While their functions are diverse, myosins are similar in structure. NMII is so much like cardiac myosin, which keeps the ...

The link between cytoskeletal actin dynamics and correlated gene activities was unclear. However, the discovery that globular actin polymerization liberates myocardin family transcriptional ...

In muscle, actin filaments serve as tracks for force generation by myosin motors. Non-muscle cells contain similar force-generating assemblages of actin and myosin, including stress fibres and the ...

29 Benzonana G, Skalli O, Gabbiani G. Correlation between the distribution of smooth muscle or non muscle myosin and α-smooth muscle actin in normal and pathological soft tissues.

Some distinctive features of zebrafish myogenesis based on unexpected distributions of the muscle cytoskeletal proteins actin, myosin, desmin, a-actinin, troponin and titin.

A research group led by Dr. Keisuke Obara, Dr. Kento Yoshioka, and Professor Yoshio Tanaka from the Department of Chemical ...

A research group has uncovered important details about how platelet-activating factor (PAF)—a powerful molecule involved in ...

The human muscular system is complex and has many functions in the body, like mobility and stability. Learn more about the muscular system here.

BACKGROUND: Direct reprogramming of fibroblasts to cardiomyocytes is a potentially curative strategy for ischemic heart ...
