Relaxed and active thin filament structures; a new structural basis for the regulatory mechanism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
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.

One‐Step Coordinated Multi‐Kinetic 4D Printing of Human Vascularized Cardiac Tissues with Selective Fast‐Shrinking Capillaries

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
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 ...

Polybithiophene‐Based Molecularly Imprinted Polymers: A Comparative Mechanistic Study on Electrochemical Signal Transduction Approaches for Protein Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
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]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2009
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 ...

Dynamic Light Scattering from Semidilute Actin Solutions: A Study of Hydrodynamic Screening, Filament Bending Stiffness and the Effect of Tropomyosin/Troponin-Binding

open access: yes, 1995
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]

open access: yes, 2016
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

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
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 ...

An FDA-approved drug structurally and phenotypically corrects the K210del mutation in genetic cardiomyopathy models

open access: yesThe Journal of Clinical Investigation
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) due to genetic disorders results in decreased myocardial contractility, leading to high morbidity and mortality rates. There are several therapeutic challenges in treating DCM, including poor understanding of the underlying ...
