BackgroundA recessive mutation “c” in the Mexican axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum, results in the failure of normal heart development. In homozygous recessive embryos, the hearts do not have organized myofibrils and fail to beat. In our previous studies, we

Thymoquinone Protects Against Cardiac Hypertrophy via PPAR‐γ/PI3K/Akt Pathway
ABSTRACT Thymoquinone (TQ), the principal active constituent of Nigella stativa, has demonstrated numerous biological properties and therapeutic effects on various diseases. However, its therapeutic potential against cardiac hypertrophy remains uncertain.

Establishing laboratory standards for biological flight experiments [PDF]
The general objective of this research was to assess the effects of exposure to simulated microgravity on ultrastructural aspects of the contractile system in chicken skeletal muscle cells. This general objective had two specific experimental components:

Impaired embryonic motility in dusp27 mutants reveals a developmental defect in myofibril structure
An essential step in muscle fiber maturation is the assembly of highly ordered myofibrils that are required for contraction. Much remains unknown about the molecular mechanisms governing the formation of the contractile apparatus.

Firstly, we determined the content of the components in the co‐products of Epimedium wine and oil. Secondly, the clinical indications of the co‐products of Epimedium wine and oil were determined by in vitro cell experiments. Finally, the in vivo animal model was used for experimental verification.

Sarcomere dynamics during muscular contraction and their implications to muscle function [PDF]
This article attempts to identify the key aspects of sarcomere inhomogeneity and the dynamics of sarcomere length changes in muscle contraction experiments and focuses on understanding the mechanics of myofibrils or muscle fibres when viewed as ...
