they observed a significant increase in the force of heart muscle contraction and accelerated calcium handling – key ...

Researchers from the Heart Center of the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) led by Priv.-Doz. Dr. Sören Brandenburg have identified a protein that plays a central role in the heart's ...

Her research is focused on the mechanism of sarcomere proteins in heart muscle contraction. She aims to understand how troponin, specifically troponin I (TnI), contributes to the dynamic thin filament ...

Numerous motor and structural proteins compose a highly ordered structure known as the sarcomere, the basic unit of muscle contraction in heart and skeletal muscles. Sarcomeric myosin heavy chain ...

Muscle is a soft tissue composed of elongated cells (muscle fibres) that produce force and motion through contraction. Involuntary cardiac and smooth muscles are responsible for contraction of the ...
