eLife, 2013 microRNA-1 (miR-1) is an evolutionarily conserved, striated muscle-enriched miRNA. Most mammalian genomes contain two copies of miR-1, and in mice, deletion of a single locus, miR-1-2, causes incompletely penetrant lethality and subtle cardiac defects ...

Sarcomere motion in isolated cardiac cells
, 1979 Computerized image-analysis techniques have been employed to examine the sarcomere dynamics of isolated mammalian cardiac myocytes. The cells were prepared by perfusion of adult rabbit hearts with hyaluronidase-collagenase solutions; they exhibited ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Muscle architecture is a major determinant of muscle performance and, in mammalian lineages, has been correlated with both feeding ecology and locomotor behaviors. Over the past decade, contrast‐enhanced micro‐CT (DiceCT) has emerged as an alternative to traditional dissection‐based measurement.

Mechanical signaling in the pathophysiology of critical illness myopathy
Frontiers in Physiology, 2016 The complete loss of mechanical stimuli of skeletal muscles, i.e., the loss of external strain, related to weight bearing, and internal strain, related to the contraction of muscle cells, is uniquely observed in pharmacologically paralyzed or deeply ...

Diaphragm in emphysematous hamsters: sarcomere adaptability
, 1983 We investigated whether the shift in the diaphragmatic length-tension curve of emphysematous animals was due to changes in either sarcomere number or sarcomere length.

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.Human pluripotent stem cells were differentiated to cTnT+ cardiomyocytes and imaged throughout the process using phase contrast. We predicted differentiation efficiency (cTnT+ area) from phase contrast and compared model performance with a live‐cell cTnT‐GFP reporter.

BMEMat, EarlyView.Mitochondria‐endoplasmic reticulum contact sites (MERCS) are areas where the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum closely interact. In this study, we utilize synthetic organelle glues to artificially engineer MERCS for regulating cardiomyocyte development, through which the immature and chemo‐plasticity issues of undifferentiated cells are addressed.

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Elastic tethers connect telomeres of separating chromosomes in anaphase of animal cells. Immunofluorescence staining of titin in crane‐fly spermatocytes, using 4 different antibodies, shows that the giant elastic protein titin seems to be a component of mitotic tethers: titin “strands” extend between separating chromosomes, connecting their ...

Fhod3 in zebrafish supports myofibril stability during growth of embryonic skeletal muscle
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Actin filament organization in cardiomyocytes critically depends on the formin Fhod3, but a role for Fhod3 in skeletal muscle development has not yet been described. Results We demonstrate here that in zebrafish mutated for one of two fhod3 paralog genes, fhod3a, skeletal muscle of the trunk appears normal through 2 days post ...
