Tropomodulin maintains the fine balance between the protein machineries responsible for cell movement and morphogenesis. Disturbances in this balance are common in many diseases, for example, invasive ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common chronic cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice, is very challenging to treat once it becomes persistent, after which spontaneous return to normal rhythm ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive –particularly for egg-laying ...

Cells respond to their physical environment through calcium-regulated contractile fibers The physical features of cellular environment are sensed by contractile bundles, called stress fibers.

A new study opens horizons for the study of striated muscle physiology by unveiling the molecular mechanisms that control the structural identity of the cardiac and skeletal tissues. Researchers at ...
