Challenges in Cardiac Muscle Physiology
The beating heart muscle is an everintriguing sight. Be it an observation in situ during open-chest surgery, in the lab as a Langendorff perfusion experiment, or under the microscope as a twitching muscle or single cell, its dynamic nature demands attention of the observer. As such, it is not surprising that it was the subject of intense investigation since the dawn of physiology. Over the cent...
متن کاملChallenges in Skeletal Muscle Physiology
in this area, especially the physiological significance of the full range of interactions within and between thick and thin filament proteins. An ultimate challenge is to develop a comprehensive model of conformational changes of thick and thin filament proteins and of intermolecular interactions underlying activation, as well as force generation and shortening, in skeletal muscle with high tem...
متن کاملMathematical challenges in integrative physiology.
Traditional approaches to biomedical research are based on the subdivision of biological systems—by length (or time) scales (body, organ, tissue, cell, andmolecule), discipline (biology, physiology, bioengineering, etc.), or sub-systems (cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, etc.). These subdivisions, however, make it difficult to unravel the systemic nature of the mechanisms that ...
متن کاملGrand Challenges in Systems Physiology
Systems physiology is an integrated discipline. It combines experimental, computational, and theoretical studies to advance our understanding of the physiology of human and other living creatures. In other words, systems physiology is systems biology with a physiology (i.e., functionally)centered view. Understanding the principle behind the system is one of the fundamental challenges in systems...
متن کاملGrand Challenges in Vascular Physiology
Cardiovascular disease continues to reign as a leading cause of premature death (National Center for Health Statistics, 2007; Lloyd-Jones et al., 2010) having a major impact on global society from both a social and economic perspective. The costs of cardiovascular disease are projected to exceed $315 billion dollars annually in the US alone in 2010 (Heron, 2007; Mensah and Brown, 2007). Further...
