We developed a general tissue‐extraction strategy that directly purifies native F‐actin and actin–tropomyosin–myosin (ATM) complexes from human and rodent muscles for cryo‐EM. Near‐atomic structures, including an HCM R404Q mouse model, reveal how a disease myosin mutation remodels ATM assembly and alters myosin conformation at the actin interface ...

Rodent models of heart failure: an updated review [PDF]
Heart failure (HF) is one of the major health and economic burdens worldwide, and its prevalence is continuously increasing. The study of HF requires reliable animal models to study the chronic changes and pharmacologic interventions in myocardial ...

Polymyositis And Dermatomyositis - Inflammation, Muscle Structure & Immunosuppressive Treatment [PDF]
Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are chronic, inflammatory disorders characterized by muscle weakness, low muscle endurance and by inflammation in skeletal muscle tissues.

We analysed collagen XV expression in myocardial infarct samples and assessed how its deficiency affects cardiac responses, such as fibrogenesis and tissue stiffness. In mice, damage caused by myocardial infarction is exacerbated in the absence of collagen XV and leads to pathological remodelling and more severe left ventricle dysfunction (left panel ...

Myofibre size and shape were investigated in functionally distinct muscles of humans and mice using ATPase histochemistry and immunofluorescence. In both species, soleus myofibres were found to be larger, more irregularly shaped, and more heterogeneous compared to other muscles. These findings may have implications for biomedical research and potential

Abstract figure legend This study investigated the effects of volitional exercise on muscle health in the more severe D2.mdx model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We showed that 8–10 weeks of a relatively high volume of voluntary wheel running (VWR) in D2.mdx animals augmented select muscle mass and normalized ex vivo muscle force compared to ...

Evidence for a dominant-negative effect in ACTA1 nemaline myopathy caused by abnormal folding, aggregation and altered polymerization of mutant actin isoforms [PDF]
We have studied a cohort of nemaline myopathy (NM) patients with mutations in the muscle α-skeletal actin gene (ACTA1). Immunoblot analysis of patient muscle demonstrates increased γ-filamin, myotilin, desmin and α-actinin in many NM patients, consistent

ABSTRACT Background Skeletal muscle plays a vital role in voluntary movement and locomotion. Fast‐twitch muscle fibres are characterized by their rapid contraction kinetics, high‐force generation and a distinct gene expression profile compared to slow‐twitch fibres.
