Proceedings of the Pennsylvania Academy of Science, Vol. 41 (1967), pp. 10-15 (6 pages) Using a fresh unfixed muscle preparation and phase contrast microscopy, the entire sequence of morphological ...
Setting out to identify all proteins that make up the sarcomere, the basic contractile unit of muscle cells, resulted in an unexpected revelation, providing experimental evidence that helps explain a ...
Scientists have produced the first high-resolution 3D image of the sarcomere, the basic contractile unit of skeletal and heart muscle cells, using electron cryo-tomography (cryo-ET). The international ...
Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association (MDC) developed a mouse model that enables them to look inside a working muscle and identify the proteins ...
Scientists at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) in the Helmholtz Association say they have developed a mouse model that enables them to look inside a working muscle and identify the ...
Titin is a giant muscle protein with a molecular weight in the megaDalton range and a contour length of more than 1 mm. Its size and location within the sarcomere structure determine its important ...
While striations are most prominent in skeletal muscle, they are also present in cardiac muscle, the muscle that makes up the heart. Cardiac muscle fibers, like skeletal muscle fibers, contain ...
