Cardiac-Specific IGF-1 Expression Attenuates Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Tropomodulin-Overexpressing Transgenic Mice

open access: yes, 2002
To test the hypothesis that early interventional treatment with insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) alleviates subsequent development of dilated cardiomyopathy, cardiac-specific IGF-1 expression was introduced by selective cross-breeding into a ...

Tropomodulin caps the pointed ends of actin filaments. [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of cell biology, 1994
Many proteins have been shown to cap the fast growing (barbed) ends of actin filaments, but none have been shown to block elongation and depolymerization at the slow growing (pointed) filament ends. Tropomodulin is a tropomyosin-binding protein originally isolated from red blood cells that has been localized by immunofluorescence staining to a site at ...

The transcriptional profile of iron deficiency in patients with heart failure: Heme‐sparing and reduced immune processes

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, Volume 27, Issue 11, Page 2313-2324, November 2025.
The analysis workflow, findings and potential clinical consequences of iron deficiency in heart failure (HF). From 881 patients with worsening HF, whole blood transcriptome was analysed using the Affymetrix Human Transcriptome Array (HTA) 2.0. Subjects were stratified according to their transferrin saturation (TSAT) levels as iron‐deficient (TSAT <20%)

Myofibrillogenesis in the developing chicken heart: role of actin isoforms and of the pointed end actin capping protein tropomodulin during thin filament assembly

open access: yes, 2004
Recently, important differences between myofibrillogenesis in cultured cardiomyocytes vs. the three-dimensional setting in situ could be determined. We investigated thin filament assembly in situ by confocal microscopy of whole-mount preparations of ...

Super‐Resolution Microscopy in Tissue Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 19, October 6, 2025.
Super‐resolution microscopy (SRM) has advanced tissue engineering by providing nanoscale insights into cellular interactions. It reveals detailed cell membrane structures, tracks vesicle and virus entry, and visualizes the cytoskeleton. SRM also improves understanding of cell migration, facilitating tissue regeneration, vascularization, immune ...

Tropomodulin Protects α-Catenin-Dependent Junctional-Actin Networks under Stress during Epithelial Morphogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Summaryα-catenin is central to recruitment of actin networks to the cadherin-catenin complex [1, 2], but how such networks are subsequently stabilized against stress applied during morphogenesis is poorly understood.

Tropomodulin 1-null mice have a mild spherocytic elliptocytosis with appearance of tropomodulin 3 in red blood cells and disruption of the membrane skeleton.

open access: yes, 2010
The short actin filaments in the red blood cell (RBC) membrane skeleton are capped at their pointed ends by tropomodulin 1 (Tmod1) and coated with tropomyosin (TM) along their length.

Cardiovascular Disease Meets Cancer: Exploring the Epidemiology in China and Homotherapy Targeting Intersectional Mechanisms

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 37, October 6, 2025.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer are leading causes of death worldwide, with overlapping risk factors and pathophysiological mechanisms. This review explores shared pathways, including metabolic dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and gut microbiome alterations, highlighting dual‐benefit strategies such as lifestyle modifications and repurposed

&lt;i&gt;Tropomodulin 1 (TMOD1)&lt;/i&gt; is associated with lean meat growth and meat quality in the pig (Brief Report)

open access: yes, 2009
. Tropomodulin 1 (TMOD1) is a member of the tropomodulin family, which are highly conserved capping proteins of the pointed ends of the erythrocyte membrane and sarcomeric actin filaments.
