According to the research, the protein seems to sense stress on the muscle cells and adjusts sarcomere shortening—and consequently, muscle contraction—based on how hard the heart needs to work. If ...

Setting out to identify all proteins that make up the sarcomere, the basic contractile unit of muscle cells, resulted in an unexpected revelation, providing experimental evidence that helps explain a ...
