ATP-sensitive K+ channels with a conductance of 30 pS in smooth muscle cells of porcine coronary artery were found to be highly active in the intact cell-attached patch configuration when the pipette ...

During cyclic movements, the number of muscle activations and their timing are different from cycle to cycle. In a previous study, the CIMAP algorithm was proposed for grouping cycles showing similar ...

Analysis of respiratory muscles activity is an effective technique for the study of pulmonary diseases such as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Respiratory diseases, especially those ...

Muscle contraction strength estimation using mechanomyographic (MMG) signal is typically calculated by the root mean square (RMS) amplitude. Raw MMG signal is processed by rectification, low-pass ...

Smooth muscle cells maintain filaments of actin and myosin in the presence of ATP, although dephosphorylated myosin filaments and actin–myosin interactions are unstable under those conditions in vitro ...
