The fluorescent analogs of phalloidin (rhodamine-and fluorescein-phalloidin) bind tightly to the skinned fibres of rabbit psoas muscle at essentially the same sites as phalloidin and mainly stain the known regions of actin localization in the sarcomere: the thin filaments and Z bands. On both sides...

DNA origami is a bottom-up nanofabrication approach in which long single-stranded DNA (called scaffold DNA) is folded into well-defined shapes with the help of a set of short “staple strands” designed to be complementary to different parts of the scaffold DNA (Fig.1a). In the original wo...
Explain the anatomy of a muscle, from muscle body all the way to sarcomeres. Compare and contrast skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle. What are the similarities and differences among the structures and functions of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles? Provide ...
Half-length of a sarcomere is depicted. Z: Z-disk; I: isotropic band; A: anisotropic band. Full size image Discussion The structural information provided by AFM is different in principle from the information obtained by both EM and light microscopy (LM). Images that are obtained using LM ...

An ex vivo culture model of kidney podocyte injury reveals mechanosensitive, synaptopodin-templating, sarcomere-like structuresdoi:10.1101/2021.11.03.466963Shumeng JiangFarid AlisafaeiHong YuanXiangjun PengYin-Yuan HuangJeffrey H. MinerGuy M. Genin
Later, the components accumulate at the membrane adjacent to the hypodermis where the sarcomeres will form, showing that the cells have become polarized. Assembly of muscle attachment structures is spatially and temporally coordinated with muscle assembly suggesting that important developmental signals may...
C. elegans is an excellent genetic model organism in which to learn new principles of sarcomere assembly, maintenance, and regulation4. The major striated muscle of C. elegans is found in the body wall and is required for locomotion. Similar to striated muscle in other animals, the thin filam...
