From function to structure: how myofibrillogenesis influences the transverse–axial tubular system development and its peculiarities [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology
The transverse–axial tubular system (TATS) is the extension of sarcolemma growing to the cell interior, providing sufficient calcium signaling to induce calcium release from sarcoplasmic reticulum cisternae and stimulate the contraction of neighboring ...
