This gap formation is based on an actin–nonmuscle myosin contraction process at the margins of the cell. Analogous to smooth muscle cell contraction, phosphorylation of the myosin light chain (MLC) by ...

The correlation between increasing tension and interface contraction during active T1s can be used ... and are actively regulated by turnover of junctional proteins (such as actin, myosin and ...

At physiologic heart rates, most filling seemed passive (that is, little contribution from atrial contraction was discerned in volume–time tracings). Thus, even small (<1 mm Hg) pressure ...

This protein, found in high levels in both skeletal and cardiac myofibrils, was determined to be >1 MDa in size through analytic ultracentrifugation and gel electrophoresis, using a multimeric myosin ...

2, A and B). Meanwhile, no immunofluorescent signal was detected on the surface of non-permeabilized cells using anti-Actin abs. Conversely, in permeabilized cells treated with Triton X-100, MmMYL3 ...

The figure was above market expectations of 48.5 percent, according to Briefing.com, but still below the 50-point mark separating expansion from contraction. "US manufacturing activity contracted ...

The resultant Ca 2+ signaling induces actomyosin contraction and somal translocation ... which in turn activated myosin II at the rear of the cell. Blockade of this signaling pathway by Tmem63b ...

Fish are an important source of animal protein, providing 17% of the world's meat consumption. More than 3 billion people rely on fish for 20 % of their daily protein intake. In addition to a high ...
