The UK economy just about returned to growth in November after two months of contraction, the latest official figures show. Gross domestic product (GDP), the standard measure of an economy's value ...

What are the relative contributions of actin polymerization and myosin II-dependent bleb formation in driving pseudopod formation? How does membrane trafficking relate to movement, specifically in ...

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 relative decrease is formally known as the contraction coefficient of the channel and the divergence. Interestingly, there exist combinations of channels and divergences for which the contraction ...

2010), which encodes vascular smooth muscle α-actin (SM α-actin). Mutations in SM α-actin may profoundly affect its interaction with myosin, other actin protomers within the filament, actin-binding ...

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 ...

This manuscript aims to identify the pacemaker cells in the lymphatic collecting vessels - the cells that initiate the autonomous action potentials and contractions needed to drive lymphatic pumping.

Actomyosin contraction at the cell rear end (uropod) aids in moving the cytoplasm and cell body, while the actin-related protein (ARP ... there are also differences [lack of myosin/contractility in ...
