Smooth Muscle Contraction and Signaling Mechanisms Publication Trend The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Smooth Muscle Contraction and Signaling Mechanisms.

L. Mandelkern, A. S. Posner, A. F. Diorio, K. Laki, Mechanism of Contraction in the Muscle Fiber-ATP System, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the ...

IT is generally believed that the process which initiates contraction in striated muscle is the depolarization of the excitable membrane of the muscle fibre, although the mechanism by which ...

The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, according to a new study.

Brian Glancy, a senior investigator in the Muscle Energetics Laboratory, researches how mitochondrial and contractile networks are optimized within muscle cells to maintain energy balance.

Numerous motor and structural proteins compose a highly ordered structure known as the sarcomere, the basic unit of muscle contraction in heart and skeletal muscles. Sarcomeric myosin heavy chain ...

When a muscle contracts, one kind of filament within it slides past another kind. Electron microscopy and other techniques have begun to disclose how the filaments exert a force on each other ...

Composed of actin, tropomyosin (Tpm), and troponin (Tn), the thin filament is a part of the regulatory mechanism of muscle contraction. Each heart muscle contraction is driven by translating ...

Researchers describe a new mechanism for muscle repair after physiological damage relying on the rearrangement of muscle fibre nuclei, and independently of muscle stem cells.

This muscle fiber self-repair process occurs rapidly both in mice and in humans after exercise-induced muscle injury, and thus represents a time- and energy-efficient protective mechanism for the ...

This mechanism promotes the prevention of sarcopenia by maintaining the muscle mass and strength of aged mice.

THE function of the heart is to propel unoxygenated blood to the lungs and to deliver oxygenated blood to the peripheral tissues in accordance with their metabolic requirements. Since William Harve ...
