Dominant BIN1-related centronuclear myopathy (CNM) revealed by lower limb myalgia and moderate CK elevation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We report a BIN1-related CNM family with unusual clinical phenotype. The proband, a 56-year-old man suffered of lower limbs myalgia since the age of 52.

Kinetic mechanism of myofibril ATPase

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 1994
The kinetic mechanism of myofibril ATPase was investigated using psoas and mixed back muscle over a range of ionic strengths. Myofibrils were labeled with pyrene iodoacetamide to measure the rate constants for the binding of ATP and formation of the weakly attached state.

Mechanobiology of muscle and myofibril morphogenesis

open access: yesCells & Development, 2021
Muscles generate forces for animal locomotion. The contractile apparatus of muscles is the sarcomere, a highly regular array of large actin and myosin filaments linked by gigantic titin springs. During muscle development many sarcomeres assemble in series into long periodic myofibrils that mechanically connect the attached skeleton elements.

Microenvironmental Reprogramming by 3D Anisotropic Cardiac Extracellular Matrix Induces Nuclear Remodeling and Epigenetic Maturation of Chemically Induced Cardiomyocytes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D anisotropic hydrogel derived from heart extracellular matrix guides cytoskeletal alignment and nuclear remodeling in reprogrammed cardiomyocyte‐like cells. This study reveals how matrix alignment modulates nuclear envelope dynamics and chromatin state, triggering transcriptional and functional maturation.

Actin, α-actinin, and tropomyosin interaction in the structural organization of actin filaments in nonmuscle cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 1975
During the spreading of a population of rat embryo cells, approximately 40% of the cells develop a strikingly regular network which precedes the formation of the straight actin filament bundles seen in the fully spread out cells.

Theoretical considerations on myofibril stiffness

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 1997
A discrete model of the interaction between individual myofilaments was developed to study the stiffness of a sarcomere for the case in which filament compliance is not negligible. Our model retains, in the limit, the characteristics of the previously published model by Ford et al. (Ford, L. E., A. F. Huxley, and R. M. Simmons. 1981.

A Tri‐Culture Heart‐on‐a‐Chip Platform With iPSC‐Derived Cardiac Cells for Predictive Cardiotoxicity Testing

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents the first entirely isogenic heart‐on‐chip, unifying cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells from a single iPSC source. The platform reveals a critical biological insight: the endothelium actively shields cardiac tissue from drug‐induced toxicity, challenging the predictive accuracy of conventional, avascular models for ...

Myofibril and Mitochondrial Area Changes in Type I and II Fibers Following 10 Weeks of Resistance Training in Previously Untrained Men

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
Resistance training increases muscle fiber hypertrophy, but the morphological adaptations that occur within muscle fibers remain largely unresolved.

Highly Homologous Filamin Polypeptides Have Different Distributions in Avian Slow and Fast Muscle Fibers [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
The high molecular weight actin-binding protein filamin is located at the periphery of the Z disk in the fast adult chicken pectoral muscle (Gomer, R. H., and E. Lazarides, 1981, Cell, 23: 524-532).
