Tension generation in endothelial cells of the aorta, spleen, and eye occurs in actin stress fibers, and is necessary for normal cell function. Sarcomeres are the tension-generating units of actin ...

The cardiac sarcomere is a triumph of biological evolution wherein myriad contractile and regulatory proteins assemble into a quasi-crystalline lattice to serve as the central point upon which cardiac ...

The sarcomere is the functional unit of striated muscle contraction. Previous studies have provided valuable information about the sarcomeric proteins and modulators that are necessary for activation ...

Introduction: Heart function depends on the cardiomyocyte contractile apparatus and proper sarcomere protein expression. Mutations in sarcomere genes cause inherited forms of cardiomyopathy and ...
