If the LV is likely to improve or normalize with TAVI, there’s no reason not to treat, says Guy Witberg. But for some TAVI ...

Muscles are the engine of the body. But with age, we begin to lose muscle mass, leading to frailty and reduced mobility.

During cell division, a ring forms around the cell equator, which contracts to divide the cell into two daughter cells. Together with researchers from Heidelberg, Dresden, Tübingen and Harvard, ...

Discussing what led the researchers to suspect that other morphogenetic engines were involved in cell compaction Maître said, “There is a mountain of evidence that contractile forces are the main ...

Other cell movements, such as the pinching off of the cell membrane in the final step of cell division (also known as cytokinesis) are produced by the contractile capacity of actin filament networks.

Researchers unveiled BeatProfiler, a groundbreaking new tool -- a comprehensive software that automates the analysis of heart cell function from video data. It's the first system to integrate the ...

Cells produce heat shock proteins in response to heat or cold stress and are involved in wound healing. Although muscle contractile function remained stable after recovering from heat-induced injury, ...

Your Artstor image groups were copied to Workspace. The Artstor website will be retired on Aug 1st. Biological Bulletin Vol. 55, No. 2, Aug., 1928 The Contractile Vacuole in Paramecium tr ...

As a result, the artificial muscles achieved a remarkable contractile strain exceeding 11% at a high stress of 5 MPa, equivalent to lifting loads more than 4000 times their own mass, all while ...

Japanese researchers have transplanted human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in a primate model of myocardial infarction and were able to restore heart muscle and function in monkeys. Developed ...

RT in MA participants only altered ~0.3% of MyoF and ~1.0% of non-MyoF proteomes. "In summary, aging and RT predominantly affect non-contractile proteins in skeletal muscle. Additionally, marginal ...
