Skeletal muscle continuously adapts to changes in its mechanical environment through
modifications in gene expression and protein stability that affect its physiological function …

The giant protein titin is thought to play major roles in the assembly and function of muscle
sarcomeres. Structural details, such as widths of Z‐and M‐lines and periodicities in the thick …

The protein product of the human Duchenne muscular dystrophy locus (DMD) and its mouse
homolog (mDMD) have been identified by using polyclonal antibodies directed against …

From the rain forests of Borneo to the tenements of Manhattan, winged insects are a
conspicuous and abundant feature of life on earth. Here, Robert Dudley presents the first …

Titin, a giant filamentous polypeptide, is believed to play a fundamental role in maintaining
sarcomeric structural integrity and developing what is known as passive force in muscle …

The passive tension-sarcomere length relation of rat cardiac muscle was investigated by
studying passive (or not activated) single myocytes and trabeculae. The contribution of …

mAbs specific for titin or nebulin were characterized by immunoblotting and fluorescence
microscopy. Immunoelectron microscopy on relaxed chicken breast muscle revealed unique …

Production of active force in skeletal muscle results from the interaction of myosin-containing
thick filaments with actiri-containing thin filaments. These muscles are also passively elastic …
