The contractile function of smooth muscle relies on the dynamic interplay of three principal cytoskeletal networks: actin filaments, intermediate filaments and microtubules. Actin polymerisation and ...
Calponin is a thin-filament-associated protein that plays a central role in the control of smooth muscle contraction by binding to actin and tropomyosin and inhibiting myosin ATPase activity. Three ...
RUDN University scientists have discovered that in weightlessness, the contractile activity of smooth muscles in the hollow organs of the gastrointestinal tract is disrupted. New data must be taken ...
