Myosin IIA-mediated forces regulate multicellular integrity during vascular sprouting [PDF]

, 2019
Angiogenic sprouting is a critical process involved in vascular network formation within tissues. During sprouting, tip cells and ensuing stalk cells migrate collectively into the extracellular matrix while preserving cell-cell junctions, forming patent ...

Estimating prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction using personalized computational heart models [PDF]

, 2017
Biomechanical computational models have potential prognostic utility in patients after an acute ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In a proof-of-concept study, we defined two groups (1) an acute STEMI group (n = 6, 83% male, age 54 ± 12 ...

Inflammation and cardiac dysfunction during sepsis, muscular dystrophy, and myocarditis

Burns & Trauma, 2013
Inflammation plays an important role in cardiac dysfunction under different situations. Acute systemic inflammation occurring in patients with severe burns, trauma, and inflammatory diseases causes cardiac dysfunction, which is one of the leading causes ...

Mechanisms of exercise-induced improvements in the contractile apparatus of the mammalian myocardium [PDF]

, 2010
One of the main outcomes of aerobic endurance exercise training is the improved maximal oxygen uptake, and this is pivotal to the improved work capacity that follows the exercise training.

Underactive bladder - an underestimated entity [PDF]

, 2020
Introduction. The concept of underactive bladder is relatively new. Currently there is no generally accepted definition of this pathology. Diagnosis depends on urodynamic findings, and symptoms are usually rare and intricated with the symptoms of other ...

Contractility and Conformation [PDF]

The Journal of General Physiology, 1967
Contractility in fibers can arise from changes of macromolecular conformation caused by changes in some thermodynamic variable such as temperature, pH, or solvent composition. Illustrations are given of contractile processes in fibers and of changes in macromolecular conformation in dilute solution. These may involve order-disorder transitions, e.g. of

Guanidine Affects Differentially the Twitch Response of Diaphragm, Extensor Digitorum Longus and Soleus Nerve-Muscle Preparations of Mice

Molecules, 2012
Guanidine has been used with some success to treat myasthenia gravis and myasthenic syndrome because it increases acetylcholine release at nerve terminals through K⁺, Na⁺ and Ca²⁺ ...
