Regulating the contraction of insect flight muscle

B Bullard, A Pastore - Journal of muscle research and cell motility, 2011 - Springer
The rapid movement of the wings in small insects is powered by the indirect flight muscles.
These muscles are capable of contracting at up to 1,000 Hz because they are activated …

Non-homogeneous dynamic Bayesian networks with Bayesian regularization for inferring gene regulatory networks with gradually time-varying structure

F Dondelinger, S Lèbre, D Husmeier - Machine learning, 2013 - Springer
The proper functioning of any living cell relies on complex networks of gene regulation.
These regulatory interactions are not static but respond to changes in the environment and …

Statins Induce Locomotion and Muscular Phenotypes in Drosophila melanogaster That Are Reminiscent of Human Myopathy: Evidence for the Role of the Chloride …

MH Al-Sabri, N Behare, AM Alsehli, S Berkins, A Arora… - Cells, 2022 - mdpi.com

Pseudo-acetylation of K326 and K328 of actin disrupts Drosophila melanogaster indirect flight muscle structure and performance

MC Viswanathan, AC Blice-Baum, W Schmidt… - Frontiers in …, 2015 - frontiersin.org
In striated muscle tropomyosin (Tm) extends along the length of F-actin-containing thin
filaments. Its location governs access of myosin binding sites on actin and, hence, force …
