It has something to do with a sliding interaction between actin and myosin. In 1954, scientists published two groundbreaking papers describing the molecular basis of muscle contraction.

Physicists from the Universities of Bayreuth and Grenoble have discovered a new mechanism of cell mobility. Their findings ...

The conformation of myosin V when strongly bound to actin has been revealed by electron ... for the swinging cross-bridge model of muscle contraction proposed in 1969. Although muscle researchers ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells, which form a barrier that defends the body from the outside environment. This barrier function relies on specialized structures called ...

The actin filament exists as a structure of the fixed length and bears the muscle contraction and the adjustment on a muscular inside. The circulation and the molecule movements of the polymerization ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about cellular filaments that play a critical role in wound healing, according to a ...

Our lab’s investigations of cardiac muscle contraction focus on the effects of cardiomyopathy-causing amino acid substitutions on myosin’s mechanical and ... We are also investigating actin filament ...

We have studied how cell architecture contributes to normal cell functions or dysfunction in disease for red blood cell shape and deformability, skeletal and cardiac muscle contraction ... from other ...
