In a decades-long effort, researchers have discovered how to tweak the molecular pathways that turn heart muscle motors up or down ...
One popular technique for creating a calorie deficit is carb cycling, which entails alternating your carbohydrate intake on a daily or weekly basis. Essentially, you set a baseline level of protein ...
Background: Myh14, encoding non-muscle myosin IIC (NMIIC), is a proposed negative regulator of isoproterenol (ISO)-induced cardiac hypertrophy. ISO upregulated mRNA transcript level of Myh14 in NRVM.
ABSTRACT: Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in the arterial walls play important roles in regulating vascular contraction and dilation. VSMCs actively remodel the arterial walls and dedifferentiate ...
ABSTRACT: Actin, a highly conserved protein, plays a dominant role in Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Late diagnosis and the aggressive nature of NSCLC pose a significant threat. Studying the ...
Various heterozygous cytoskeletal γ-actin mutations have been shown to cause Baraitser–Winter cerebrofrontofacial syndrome, non-syndromic hearing loss, or isolated eye coloboma. Here, we report the ...
This paper is of importance to scientists interested in molecular mechanisms by which actin point mutations affect its function to ultimately lead to disease states. This work thoroughly characterizes ...
Human bodies make 2 million red blood cells per second. They each live for 120 days and spend that time zooming completely around the body every 20 seconds, carrying oxygen from the lungs to other ...
An electron microscopy study revealed key details of actin filaments, which are essential structural elements of cells and muscles. Actin filaments -- protein structures critical to living movement ...
