The research, led by Professor Stuart Campbell at Yale University, used lab-grown heart tissue to understand the differences ...

THERE is general agreement that the membrane process activates the contractile mechanism in muscle; but up to the present all efforts to find quantitative relations between the electrical and ...

Numerous motor and structural proteins compose a highly ordered structure known as the sarcomere, the basic unit of muscle contraction in heart and skeletal muscles. Sarcomeric myosin heavy chain ...

The Kennedy College of Sciences, Department of Biological Sciences, invites you to attend a Masters Thesis defense by Alfredo Bongiorno on "The Role of Key Tropomyosin-Troponin T Interactions in Thin ...

When they stimulated these receptors using aspartame, a common artificial sweetener, they observed an increase in the ...

they observed a significant increase in the force of heart muscle contraction and accelerated calcium handling – key ...

A wave of contraction spreads across the heart - to the left atrium and then ... which is fitted between the skin of the upper chest and the chest muscle. The fitting of artificial pacemakers ...

We employ single molecule fluorescence techniques and laser trapping assays to study: the mechanism and regulation muscle contraction, cell motility, and the regulation of cell shape. Our lab’s ...

Heart Rate Increase in rate of contraction of cardiac muscle - cardiac output increases Decrease in rate of contraction of cardiac muscle - cardiac output decreases Breathing Rate Smooth muscle of ...

Muscle is a soft tissue composed of elongated cells (muscle fibres) that produce force and motion through contraction. Involuntary cardiac and smooth muscles are responsible for contraction of the ...
