Article Synopsis
- Clerkships are critical for medical students to combine their basic science knowledge with hands-on clinical practice, particularly in anatomy, which is vital for effective patient care.
- Concerns persist about medical students' anatomy knowledge falling short of the expectations of clerkship directors and clinical faculty, indicating a potential gap in training.
- A study surveying 525 clinical faculty across 24 schools identified that 91% of anatomical structures are deemed essential for core clerkships, highlighting specific anatomy needs for clerkships like family medicine, emergency medicine, and general surgery.
Mechanical modulation of the transverse tubular system of ventricular cardiomyocytes.
Prog Biophys Mol Biol
November 2013
In most mammalian cardiomyocytes, the transverse tubular system (t-system) is a major site for electrical signaling and excitation-contraction coupling. The t-system consists of membrane invaginations, which are decorated with various proteins involved in excitation-contraction coupling and mechano-electric feedback. Remodeling of the t-system has been reported for cells in culture and various types of heart disease.

It consists of membrane invaginations, which are decorated with various proteins including mechanosensitive ion channels. Here, we investigated mechanical modulation of the t-system.
