The desmin network is a determinant of the cytoplasmic stiffness of myoblasts
Biology of the Cell, 2018 The mechanical properties of cells are essential to maintain their proper functions, and mainly rely on their cytoskeleton. A lot of attention has been paid to actin filaments, demonstrating their central role in the cells mechanical properties, but much

Sudden cardiac death in young athletes: Literature review of molecular basis [PDF]
, 2020 Intense athletic training and competition can rarely result in sudden cardiac death (SCD). Despite the introduction of pre-participation cardiovascular screening, especially among young competitive athletes, sport-related SCD remains a debated issue ...

Fhod3 in zebrafish supports myofibril stability during growth of embryonic skeletal muscle
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Actin filament organization in cardiomyocytes critically depends on the formin Fhod3, but a role for Fhod3 in skeletal muscle development has not yet been described. Results We demonstrate here that in zebrafish mutated for one of two fhod3 paralog genes, fhod3a, skeletal muscle of the trunk appears normal through 2 days post ...

The 68,000-Dalton Neurofilament-Associated Polypeptide is a Component of Nonneuronal Cells and of Skeletal Myofibrils [PDF]
, 1980 Purified preparations of 10-nm neurofilaments from rat spinal cord and bovine or porcine brain contain a predominant 68,000-dalton polypeptide. This polypeptide is also a major component of the neurofilaments that copurify with brain tubulin isolated by ...

Endothelial Wnt/β-catenin signaling inhibits glioma angiogenesis and normalizes tumor blood vessels by inducing PDGF-B expression [PDF]
, 2012 Endothelial Wnt/β-catenin signaling is necessary for angiogenesis of the central nervous system and blood–brain barrier (BBB) differentiation, but its relevance for glioma vascularization is unknown. In this study, we show that doxycycline-dependent Wnt1

Youngest known case of a pancreatic perivascular epithelioid cell tumor
JPGN Reports, EarlyView.Abstract Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are a rare type of mesenchymal tumor that can arise in any part of the body. As of 2024, 37 cases of pancreatic PEComas had been reported in the literature with patients ranging in age from 17 to 74 years old.

Thioflavin T in-gel staining for ex vivo analysis of cardiac amyloid
Frontiers in Molecular BiosciencesThere are limited options to quantify and characterize amyloid species from biological samples in a simple manner. Thioflavin T (ThT) has been used for decades to stain amyloid fibrils, but to our knowledge, we were the first to use it in-gel. Thioflavin

Time-dependent appearance of myofibroblasts in granulation tissue of human skin wounds [PDF]
, 1992 Human skin wounds (66) inflicted between 20 h and 7 months prior to biopsy were studied. In order to identify the type of cellular differentiation of the fibroblastic cells in the granulation tissue, alpha-smooth muscle actin and desmin were ...
