A team of Yale and University of Pennsylvania researchers recently discovered that myosin, one of the proteins responsible for muscle contraction, can sense and adapt to different amounts of force.
"If actin is blocked, transcription can't begin," de Lanerolle said. The finding is published in the current issue of Nature Cell Biology and follows an earlier discovery by de Lanerolle and his ...
The dynamic processes that occur during the growth of actin, via polymerization, and the breakdown of actin both play significant roles in cellular mechanisms like migration and adhesion. Due to the ...
If your fitness goal is to up the ante on endurance, pack more power into your sprint, or supercharge your strength gains in the gym, it’s worth exploring – what are the different muscle fiber types?
