Cardiac muscle cells have an intrinsic ability to sense and respond to mechanical load through a process known as mechanotransduction. In the heart, this process involves the conversion of mechanical ...

A new antibody treatment prevents cholesterol buildup in heart mitochondria and restores energy production, offering hope for ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have discovered that an oral drug called MA-5 can improve both heart and muscle problems in ...

Researchers using cardiac MRI have found that long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with early signs of heart ...

New findings by a team of molecular biologists at Brown University on the critical role of a protein called AIMP3 in heart ...

Researchers have developed a novel method for simultaneously recording action potentials (APs)—temporary changes in electrical potential when cells become excited—and calcium transients—calcium ...

Recent efforts to suppress or reverse hypertrophy have turned to signalling inside the cardiac muscle cell, ... L. C. Rheb fills a GAP between TSC and TOR. Trends Biochem. Sci. 28, 573–576 (2003).

"Cardiac muscle cells" do the pumping work, and "conducting cells" carry electrical signals. These signals trigger contractions in cardiac muscle — in other words, they cause the heart muscles ...

Last year, Sarepta – which leads the market for exon-skipping DMD drugs – got FDA approval for Elevidys (delandistrogene moxeparvovec), the first gene therapy for the muscle-wasting disease.
