Tension-driven multi-scale self-organisation in human iPSC-derived muscle fibers
eLife, 2022 Human muscle is a hierarchically organised tissue with its contractile cells called myofibers packed into large myofiber bundles. Each myofiber contains periodic myofibrils built by hundreds of contractile sarcomeres that generate large mechanical forces.

Assembly and Dynamics of Myofibrils [PDF]
Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology, 2010 We review some of the problems in determining how myofibrils may be assembled and just as importantly how this contractile structure may be renewed by sarcomeric proteins moving between the sarcomere and the cytoplasm. We also address in this personal review the recent evidence that indicates that the assembly and dynamics of myofibrils are conserved ...

The oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex is involved in myofibril growth and Z-disc assembly in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2023 Myofibrils are long intracellular cables specific to muscles, composed mainly of actin and myosin filaments. The actin and myosin filaments are organized into repeated units called sarcomeres, which form the myofibrils.

Cells, 2023 Plectin, a highly versatile cytolinker protein, is crucial for myofiber integrity and function. Accordingly, mutations in the human gene (PLEC) cause several rare diseases, denoted as plectinopathies, with most of them associated with progressive muscle ...

Lbx2regulates formation of myofibrils [PDF]
BMC Developmental Biology, 2009 Skeletal muscle differentiation requires assembly of contractile proteins into organized myofibrils. The Drosophila ladybird homeobox gene (lad) functions in founder cells of the segmental border muscle to promote myoblast fusion and muscle shaping. Tetrapods have two homologous genes (Lbx).

International Journal of Food Properties, 2022 Meat is the richest source of protein and according to meat sources, the protein is composed of different types of amino acids which are completely dependent upon the protein types. Myofibril is basically muscle protein that’s widely present in different

Properties of heat induced blend gel of Peruvian squid (Dosidicus gigas) myofibril protein fortified with millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) flour [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 Weak gelation ability and simple nutrient composition of squid myofibril protein limits its further development in surimi production. Millet flour is rich in nutrients and has a good viscoelasticity after heating.

The effect of recombinant caspase 3 on myofibrillar proteins in porcine skeletal muscle
Animal, 2008 The objective of this study was to investigate the potential role of the caspase protease family in meat tenderisation by examining if caspase 3 was capable of causing myofibril protein degradation.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Skeletal muscle fibers are multinucleated cells that contain mostly myofibrils suspended in an aqueous media termed the sarcoplasm. Select evidence suggests sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, or a disproportionate expansion of the sarcoplasm relative to myofibril
