Elastic behavior of connectin filaments during thick filament movement in activated skeletal muscle
Connectin (also called titin) is a huge, striated muscle protein that binds to thick filaments and links them to the Z-disc. Using an mAb that binds to connectin in the I-band region of the molecule, we studied the behavior of connectin in both relaxed and activated skinned rabbit psoas fibers by immunoelectron microscopy. In relaxed fibers, antibody binding is visualized as two extra striation...
متن کاملFinite element modelling of contracting skeletal muscle.
To describe the mechanical behaviour of biological tissues and transport processes in biological tissues, conservation laws such as conservation of mass, momentum and energy play a central role. Mathematically these are cast into the form of partial differential equations. Because of nonlinear material behaviour, inhomogeneous properties and usually a complex geometry, it is impossible to find ...
متن کاملRobust Internal Elastic Lamina Fenestration in Skeletal Muscle Arteries
Holes within the internal elastic lamina (IEL) of blood vessels are sites of fenestration allowing for passage of diffusible vasoactive substances and interface of endothelial cell membrane projections with underlying vascular smooth muscle. Endothelial projections are sites of dynamic Ca(2+) events leading to endothelium dependent hyperpolarization (EDH)-mediated relaxations and the activity o...
متن کاملLateral interference, spacing, and word legibility
Visual processing of individual characters within a word can interfere with one another thereby decreasing word legibility. This largely results from the lateral interference occurring in the retina and the primary visual cortex, with the distance over which it operates largely fixed in size. Analysis of previous data demonstrates that the default spacing for 10 and 12 pt font is just large eno...
متن کاملKnockdown of desmin in zebrafish larvae affects interfilament spacing and mechanical properties of skeletal muscle
Skeletal muscle was examined in zebrafish larvae in order to address questions related to the function of the intermediate filament protein desmin and its role in the pathogenesis of human desminopathy. A novel approach including mechanical and structural studies of 4-6-d-old larvae was applied. Morpholino antisense oligonucleotides were used to knock down desmin. Expression was assessed using ...
