  • Smokeless oral nicotine products are addictive and can negatively impact cardiovascular health, particularly in individuals with pre-existing heart or cerebrovascular conditions, and can also increase the risk of oral cancer depending on their chemical composition.
  • The market for these products has rapidly expanded since the last American Heart Association policy, particularly with the rise of tobacco-free oral nicotine pouches, but their health effects remain unstudied.
  • There is a need for strong public policies to help end tobacco addiction, focusing on preventing initiation and promoting cessation through established treatment options.

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a crucial role in regulating the function of many sarcomeric proteins, including myosin. Myosins comprise a family of motor proteins that play fundamental roles in cell motility in general and muscle contraction in particular. A myosin molecule consists of two myosin heavy chains (MyHCs) and two pairs of myosin light chains (MLCs); two MLCs are associated with the neck region of each MyHC's N-terminal head domain, while the two MyHC C-terminal tails form a coiled-coil that polymerizes with other MyHCs to form the thick filament backbone.
