A pseudo active kinematic constraint for a biological living soft tissue: an effect of the collagen network [PDF]
, 2008 Recent studies in mammalian hearts show that left ventricular wall thickening is an important mechanism for systolic ejection and that during contraction the cardiac muscle develops significant stresses in the muscular cross-fiber direction. We suggested

Two isoforms of Trpm8 in rat vas deferens
Біологічні студії, 2019 Trpm8 is a nonselective Ca2+-permeable ion channel activated by temperatures below 28 °C and cooling chemical compounds such as menthol and icilin. Trpm8 is expressed in sensory neurons where it functions for temperature detection. However, Trpm8 is also

Suppression of cardiomyocyte functions by β-CTX isolated from the Thai king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) venom via an alternative method [PDF]
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2020 Background: Beta-cardiotoxin (β-CTX), the three-finger toxin isolated from king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) venom, possesses β-blocker activity as indicated by its negative chronotropy and its binding property to both β-1 and β-2 adrenergic receptors and ...

Distance constraints on activation of TRPV4 channels by AKAP150-bound PKCα in arterial myocytes. [PDF]
, 2017 TRPV4 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 4) channels are Ca2+-permeable channels that play a key role in regulating vascular tone. In arterial myocytes, opening of TRPV4 channels creates local increases in Ca2+ influx, detectable optically as "TRPV4

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
