Relaxed and active thin filament structures; a new structural basis for the regulatory mechanism [PDF]
The structures of muscle thin filaments reconstituted using skeletal actin and cardiac troponin and tropomyosin have been determined with and without bound Ca2+ using electron microscopy and reference-free single particle analysis.

This study presents a novel 4D bioprinting technique for fabricating cardiac tissues with complex microvasculature. Unlike traditional 3D printing, it enables capillary‐scale structure formation via selective post‐printing shrinkage. This approach overcomes resolution limits of printing cell‐laden hydrogels, allowing the creation of functional ...

This study provides the first detailed comparison of the mechanisms behind differential pulse voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in electropolymerized molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) sensing platforms. Using cystatin C as a model protein, it reveals how electron transfer processes generate signals and offers evidence‐based ...

Dynamic Studies Of Truncated Troponin Complex Usin Hdx [PDF]
Troponin is the primary control protein of the cardiac and skeletal muscle contractile apparatus. Troponin is made up of three subunits (TnT, TnI, TnC) and is located on the thin filament together with tropomyosin. The binding of Ca++ to TnC induces conformational changes in troponin leading to muscle contraction, via a regulatory mechanism that ...

Quasi-elastic light scattering (QELS) is applied to investigate the effect of the tropomyosin/troponin complex (Tm/Tn) on the stiffness of actin filaments. The importance of hydrodynamic screening in semidilute solutions is demonstrated.

Amino Acid Changes at Arginine 204 of Troponin I Result in Increased Calcium Sensitivity of Force Development. [PDF]
Mutations in human cardiac troponin I (cTnI) have been associated with restrictive, dilated, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathies. The most commonly occurring residue on cTnI associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) is arginine (R), which ...

Injectable BMSC‐Based Extracellular Matrix‐Mimicking Microtissue for Myocardial Infarction Repair
A novel injectable biomimetic extracellular matrix scaffold (JLSV) is designed for enhanced delivery of bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). By utilizing janus basic nanotubes, laminin, stromal‐derived factor‐1 alpha, and vascular endothelial growth factor, this innovative JLSV–BMSC microtissue shows promise in myocardial infarction ...
