Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2019 Using Drosophila melanogaster, we created the first animal models for myosin-based Freeman–Sheldon syndrome (FSS), a dominant form of distal arthrogryposis defined by congenital facial and distal skeletal muscle contractures.

Effects of Inhomogeneous Myofibril Morphology on Optical Diffraction in Single Muscle Fibers [PDF]
, 2008 doi:10.1364/JOSAA.25.003051Laser diffraction is commonly used in physiological research that explores single muscle fibers. Although variations in sarcomere morphological properties have often been observed, their effects on laser diffraction have not ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

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

Cell Surface Thiol Engineering Mechanoregulates Myogenic Differentiation via the FAK–PI3K–AKT Axis
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Schematic diagram illustrating how cell surface modification of skeletal muscle progenitor cells through TCEP treatment reveals enhanced cell adhesion, intracellular tension, and myogenesis at 19.66 kPa stiffness, leading to optimal cell fusion. In contrast, no significant changes are observed in the softer (10.61 kPa) or stiffer (49.4 kPa) matrices ...

Geometrically Tunable Scaffold‐Free Muscle Bioconstructs for Treating Volumetric Muscle Loss
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Volumetric muscle loss is associated with traumatic muscle resulting in permanent functional impairment. Mold‐based, scaffold‐free, high‐density muscle tissue bioconstructs are developed in customizable geometric shapes and sizes. The transplanted rectangular solid‐shaped muscle bioconstructs improved muscle force recovery and tissue regeneration in ...

Scientific Reports, 2019 Rapid sarcomere lengthening waves propagate along a single muscle myofibril during spontaneous oscillatory contraction (SPOC). In asynchronous insect flight muscles, SPOC is thought to be almost completely synchronized over the entire myofibril.

The 68,000-Dalton Neurofilament-Associated Polypeptide is a Component of Nonneuronal Cells and of Skeletal Myofibrils [PDF]
, 1980 Purified preparations of 10-nm neurofilaments from rat spinal cord and bovine or porcine brain contain a predominant 68,000-dalton polypeptide. This polypeptide is also a major component of the neurofilaments that copurify with brain tubulin isolated by ...
