Biochemical and biomechanical properties of the pacemaking sinoatrial node extracellular matrix are distinct from contractile left ventricular matrix. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Extracellular matrix plays a role in differentiation and phenotype development of its resident cells. Although cardiac extracellular matrix from the contractile tissues has been studied and utilized in tissue engineering, extracellular matrix properties ...

Are physiological oscillations physiological?
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract figure legend Mechanisms and functions of physiological oscillations. Abstract Despite widespread and striking examples of physiological oscillations, their functional role is often unclear. Even glycolysis, the paradigm example of oscillatory biochemistry, has seen questions about its oscillatory function.

Pharmacologic Approach to Sinoatrial Node Dysfunction
Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2021 The spontaneous activity of the sinoatrial node initiates the heartbeat. Sino-atrial node dysfunction (SND) and sick sinoatrial (sick sinus) syndrome are caused by the heart's inability to generate a normal sinoatrial node action potential. In clinical practice, SND is generally considered an age-related pathology, secondary to degenerative fibrosis ...

Generation of a human embryonic stem cell line (WAe009-A-78) carrying homozygous TBX18 knockout
Stem Cell Research, 2022 T-Box Transcription Factor 18 is a member of the T-box family, encoding TBX18 protein. As a transcriptional repressor, it related to developmental processes of a majority of tissues and organs and plays crucial part in the embryonic development of ...

SCN5A and sinoatrial node pacemaker function [PDF]
Cardiovascular Research, 2007 The SCN5A gene encodes specific voltage-dependent Na+ channels abundant in cardiac muscle that open and close at specific stages of cardiac activity in response to voltage change, thereby controlling the magnitude and timecourse of voltage-dependent Na+ currents (iNa) in cardiac muscle cells.

Electron-conformational transformations in nanoscopic RyR channels govern both the heart's contraction and beating [PDF]
, 2011 We show that a simple biophysically based electron-conformational model of RyR channel is able to explain and describe on equal footing the oscillatory regime of the heart's cell release unit both in sinoatrial node (pacemaker) cells under normal ...

The Evolution of Sinoatrial Node Function in Man [PDF]
, 1973 The function of the sinoatrial node is complex. In nearly all hearts, this small bit of tissue is responsible for spontaneously generating the impulse which will be distributed to the remainder of the heart, maintaining coordinated electrical and ...

The mind body problem, part three: ascension of sexual function to cerebral level [PDF]
, 2016 Physiologically, the somatic nervous system intervenes in external interaction between the body and environment, while autonomic nervous system ensures the functioning of internal organs.
