β Subunits Control the Effects of Human Kv4.3 Potassium Channel Phosphorylation
The transient outward K+ current, Ito, activates early in the cardiac myocyte action potential, to begin repolarization. Human Ito is generated primarily by two Kv4.3 potassium channel α subunit splice variants (Kv4.3L and Kv4.3S) that diverge only by a ...

Engineering Extracellular Microenvironments: The Impact of Fibrous Materials on Cell Behavior
Fibrous structures are key elements of the native extracellular matrix and crucial for directing cell behavior. This review discusses how fiber properties such as composition, diameter, and alignment affect cell responses in 2D and 3D systems. Strategies for integrating fibrous cues into engineered tissues are highlighted, and future directions for ...

Mechanics of the left ventricle
A theory is presented for the mechanics of the left ventricle. A linear continuum description of the myocardium is developed, which incorporates anisotropic elastic effects due to the fiber direction field. The relation between fiber tension and fiber strain contains a time-dependent activation function that drives the ventricle around its cycle.
