muscle cells

[Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta-Molecular Basis of Disease] Scientists detail each individual process involved in cell death, as well as highlight how they come together to produce various cardiac pathologies.

[Basic Research in Cardiology] Researchers identified that the molecular machinery for membrane protein synthesis occurs throughout the cardiac myocyte, and enabled distributed synthesis of membrane proteins within sub-cellular niches where the synthesized protein functions using local mRNA pools trafficked, in part, by microtubules.

[Cell Death Discovery] Investigators suggested that miR548ai, a rarely known microRNA, may have provided a molecular target for protection against smooth muscle cell/exosome-induced endothelial cell dysfunction.

[Scientific Reports] Researchers measured changes in mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 signaling, the ubiquitin–proteasome system, and autophagy-lysosome system-related factors after a single intramuscular injection of MSCs with green fluorescence protein into mouse muscles.

[Nature Communications] Researchers developed a platform of micron-scale cardiac muscle bundles to control biomechanics in arrays of thousands of purified, independently contracting cardiac muscle strips on two-dimensional elastomer substrates with far greater throughput than single cell methods.

[Cell Death Discovery] Researchers demonstrated that fortilin sustained cardiomyocyte survival at least partly through inhibition of p53 and p53-dependent apoptosis.
