Topography‐Regulated Screening Platform for Myoblast Contact Guidance
This study develops a topography‐regulated screening platform (12 gradients in 96‐topography‐well plate) enabling analysis of skeletal muscle morphogenesis. The topography‐induced cell morphology changed, cell polarization, and myotube differentiation, establishing an evaluative framework for generating pathologically relevant myotube phenotypes to ...

The role of myosin II in stabilizing actin tethers promoting GLUT4 exocytosis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes [PDF]
Aberrant insulin signaling results in an impaired ability to clear glucose from the bloodstream, which progresses to type II diabetes mellitus once insulin stimulation no longer results in a significant decrease in blood glucose levels.

Modification of Loop 1 Affects the Nucleotide Binding Properties of Myo1c, the Adaptation Motor in the Inner Ear [PDF]
Myo1c is one of eight members of the mammalian myosin I family of actin-associated molecular motors. In stereocilia of the hair cells in the inner ear, Myo1c presumably serves as the adaptation motor, which regulates the opening and closing of ...

We introduce an additively manufactured bioreactor with a perfusion flow system and integrated temperature and pH sensors for skeletal muscle tissue biofabrication. The bioreactor's performance was evaluated by assessing the viability, spreading of the myoblast cells in a printed scaffold, and contraction of the isolated murine musculi interossei ...

Localization of Myosin II and identification of its potential upstream regulators in Dictyostelium discoideum [PDF]
The thesis work presented here aimed to understand how myosin II is regulated in Dictyostelium discoideum within the context of chemotactic signaling and cell migration.

Myosin-II and cytosolic mCherry during migration under microfluidic confinement.
(A) Myosin-II accumulates at the cortex in confined Dictyostelium cells, while (B) mCherry, used as a volume marker, does not show cortical/membrane enrichment at 1.7 μm.

Relative affinity constants by electrospray ionization and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry: calmodulin binding to peptide analogs of myosin light chain kinase [PDF]
Synthetic RS20 peptide and a set of its point-mutated peptide analogs have been used to analyze the interactions between calmodulin (CaM) and the CaM-binding sequence of smooth-muscle myosin light chain kinase both in the presence and the absence of Ca2+.

Myosin VI Rewrites the Rules for Myosin Motors [PDF]
Myosin VI is the only type of myosin motor known to move toward the minus ends of actin filaments. This reversal in the direction of its movement is in part a consequence of the repositioning of its lever arm. In addition, myosin VI has a number of other specialized structural and functional adaptations that optimize performance of its unique cellular ...
