Epithelial cells defend human skin and mucous membranes. Specialized structures known as “junctions” enable this “barrier” tissue to carry out its role. They control interactions between cells and ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This 'barrier' tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called 'junctions'. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...

Our skin and mucous membranes protect us like vigilant sentinels against the onslaught of harmful pathogens. This extraordinary defense owes its strength to epithelial cells—specialized tissues woven ...

By acting to inhibit or enhance cMyBP-C binding with actin and myosin, small molecules directly target the dysfunctional protein interactions at the sarcomeric level to normalize cardiac muscle ...

This ensures that molecular forces produced by myosin motors translate efficiently into body ... Quantifications of β1-integrin, titin, and actin levels for Figure 8 were performed using line ROIs of ...

Myosin is a diverse superfamily of motor proteins responsible for actin-based motility and contractility in eukaryotic cells. Myosin-18 family, including myosin-18A and myosin-18B, belongs to an ...

Interactions of elastic titin with sarcomeric actin filaments are revealed. Strikingly, when titin-cleaved muscles contract, myosin-containing A-bands become split and adjacent myosin filaments move ...

Organelle transport to the periphery of the cell involves coordinated transport between the processive motors kinesin and myosin V. Long-range transport takes place on microtubule tracks, whereas ...
