Glycogen synthase kinases 3α and 3β in cardiac myocytes: regulation and consequences of their inhibition [PDF]
, 2008 Inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) as a consequence of its phosphorylation by protein kinase B/Akt (PKB/Akt) has been implicated in cardiac myocyte hypertrophy in response to endothelin-1 or phenylephrine.

Junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum motility in adult mouse ventricular myocytes. [PDF]
, 2020 Excitation-contraction (EC) coupling is the coordinated process by which an action potential triggers cardiac myocyte contraction. EC coupling is initiated in dyads where the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (jSR) is in tight proximity to the sarcolemma

KV4.3 Expression Modulates NaV1.5 Sodium Current
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 In cardiomyocytes, the voltage-gated transient outward potassium current (Ito) is responsible for the phase-1 repolarization of the action potential (AP).

MicroRNAs in Sarcopenia: A Systematic Review
Frontiers in Medicine, 2020 Sarcopenia, which is characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle, has been reported to contribute to development of physical disabilities, various illnesses, and increasing mortality. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that inhibit translation

The myogenic kinome: protein kinases critical to mammalian skeletal myogenesis
Skeletal Muscle, 2011 Myogenesis is a complex and tightly regulated process, the end result of which is the formation of a multinucleated myofibre with contractile capability.

Electrical coupling between ventricular myocytes and myofibroblasts in the infarcted mouse heart [PDF]
, 2017 Aims: Recent studies have demonstrated electrotonic coupling between scar tissue and the surrounding myocardium in cryoinjured hearts. However, the electrical dynamics occurring at the myocyte-nonmyocyte interface in the fibrotic heart remain ...

Active Movement of the Tunic in Halocynthia roretzi
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2010 Halocynthia roretzi, a solitary ascidian, can swell and deflate its solid, leather-like tunic largely, but it is not clear whether the tunic deforms actively.

Intramyocardial Fibroblast Myocyte Communication [PDF]
Circulation Research, 2010 Abstract : Cardiac fibroblasts are emerging as key components of normal cardiac function, as well as the response to stressors and injury. These most numerous cells of the heart interact with myocytes via paracrine mechanisms, alterations in ...

Physiological Reports, 2021 Skeletal muscle anatomy and physiology are sexually dimorphic but molecular underpinnings and muscle‐specificity are not well‐established. Variances in metabolic health, fitness level, sedentary behavior, genetics, and age make it difficult to discern ...

Ghrelin Stimulates Myocyte Development [PDF]
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2007 Ghrelin, a gastric peptide hormone, may regulate mesenchymal cell development. Here we show that ghrelin promotes myogenesis in vitro in the mouse myoblast cell line C2C12 cells. Cells expressing ghrelin demonstrated a significant increase in the differentiation of premyocytes into myocytes.
