Muscle(from Latinmusculus, diminutive ofmus"mouse") is the contractile tissue of the body and is derived from the mesodermal layer of embryonic germ cells. Muscle cells contain contractile filaments that move past each other and change the size of the cell. They are classified as skeletal, card...
However, the discovery of reprogramming by ectopic expression of a defined set of transcription factors, known as direct reprogramming, provided a tractable platform to uncover molecular characteristics of cellular specification and differentiation, cell type stability and pluripotency. We discuss the ...
Mast cells and histamine responses of the ureter, ultrastructural features of cell-to-cell associations and functional implications In this study of normal adult human and ovine ureters, a characteristic distribution of a large population of typical mast cells was described by light and...

Dystrophin is a cytoskeletal protein distributed on the plasma membrane of skeletal muscle cells and cardiomyocytes. It plays the role of cell scaffold, maintains the integrity of muscle fibers, and protects against contraction-induced damage [37]. Loss or lack of dystrophin leads to the rupture of...
et al. UV irradiation induces a non-coding RNA that functionally opposes the protein encoded by the same gene. Cell 168, 843–855.e13 (2017). This paper describes dual coding and non-coding functions of the ASCC3 locus, with a switch from long, coding transcript production induced by ...
Researchers at Imperial College London have discovered that specialist macrophages—a type of white blood cell—play a key role in the control of muscle contraction and locomotion. The discovery overturns previous assumptions ... Dec 4, 2024 ...
A number of multipolar mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus cells react to cerebelectomy or decortication of the proprioceptive muscle afferent projection area or interruption of the posterior cerebellar peduncle. The cell reaction consists of a great increase in neurofilaments within the perikaryon.The reacti...
The structure and integrity of a cell’s cytoskeletal network has long been known to play an important role in cancer progression. The cytoskeleton is composed of actin microfilaments of globular actin subunits that bind non-muscle myosin II to create actomyosin stress fibers, intermediate filaments...
Since its discovery in the 1990s, programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) has been regarded as a leading target in cancer treatments. A checkpoint receptor that often resides on the surface of immune system cells, the PD-1 ... Jan 3, 2025 0 63 Diseases, Conditions, Syndromes FDA appr...
