Contractile proteins are proteins that mediate sliding of contractile fibres (contraction) of a cell’s cytoskeleton, and of cardiac and skeletal muscle. Heart and muscle contractile fibres ...

New research reveals that neurons can switch their migration strategy depending on whether they move on flat surfaces or through tight, crowded spaces.

In the developing brain, neurons must navigate through complex and often crowded tissue to reach their final ...

In pulmonary hypertension, a combination of metabolic and mechanical dysfunction leads to irreversible vascular damage.

This occurs through a physiologic process that leads to an increased number of contractile proteins (actin and myosin) in each muscle fiber. With the right training regimen, you can catalyze this ...

Fowler’s studies of human red blood cells led to the discovery of a new family of proteins, called tropomodulins (Tmods ... that Tmods control precise actin filament lengths in the contractile ...

A study by Kindai University researchers shows that neurons adapt their migration strategies based on environmental ...

Whether you want to achieve or avoid a muscular look, you should know how muscle changes your body for the better.

Broadly, these enzymes fall into 5 categories based on substrate specificity: (1) interstitial collagenases (MMP-1, -8, -13); (2) gelatinases (MMP-2,-9) and fibroblast activation protein ...
