Some patients with diabetes develop a serious condition known as diabetic cardiomyopathy, which proceeds slowly and cannot be ...

We employ single molecule fluorescence techniques and laser trapping assays to study: the mechanism and regulation muscle contraction, cell motility, and the regulation of cell shape. Our lab’s ...

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 ...

after respiratory insufficiency resulting from skeletal muscle wasting. "DM1 affects various aspects of cardiac function, but ...

Researchers at Imperial College London have discovered that specialist macrophages—a type of white blood cell—play a key role ...

Proper contraction and relaxation of the heart depends on the coordinated flux of calcium ions in and out of individual cardiac muscle cells. Research in our lab focuses on understanding how these ...

Heart Rate Increase in rate of contraction of cardiac muscle - cardiac output increases Decrease in rate of contraction of cardiac muscle - cardiac output decreases Breathing Rate Smooth muscle of ...

This may have additive effects on cardiac conduction when used with beta-blockers ... hyperuricemia, impotence, muscle cramps, nasal congestion, nocturia, osteoarticular pain, polyuria, sexual ...

"Dune"-inspired Arrakis Therapeutics has tested its spice—an RNA-targeting small molecule—in a mouse model of myotonic ...

The FDA has accepted a new drug application for aficamten, a new obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy drug. A goal date ...

Bupivacaine blocks the generation and the conduction of nerve impulses ... Should be used for operations in which muscle relaxation is not important, or when another means of providing muscle ...

Here they use mouse gastruloids to model cardiopharyngeal mesoderm specification and differentiation into both cardiac and skeletal muscle lineages, thus highlighting their potential for studying ...
