The proposal of simultaneously determining the hohlraum peak radiation temperature T(R) and M-band fraction f(M) by shock velocity measurement technique [Y. S. Li et al. Phys. Plasmas 18, 022701 (2011)] is demonstrated for the first time in recent experiments conducted on SGIII-prototype laser facility. In the experiments, T(R) and f(M) are determined by using the observed shock velocities in Al and Ti. For the Au hohlraum used in the experiments, T(R) is about 160 eV and f(M) is around 4.3% under a 1 ns laser pulse of 2 kJ. The results from this method are complementary to those from the broadband x-ray spectrometer, and the technique can be further used to determine T(R) and f(M) inside an ignition hohlraum.

Background: Vitamin C plays key roles in cellular homeostasis, functioning as a potent antioxidant and a positive regulator of cell differentiation. In skeletal muscle, the vitamin C/sodium co-transporter SVCT2 is preferentially expressed in oxidative slow fibers. SVCT2 is up-regulated during the early fusion of primary myoblasts and decreases during initial myotube growth, indicating the relevance of vitamin C uptake via SVCT2 for early skeletal muscle differentiation and fiber-type definition.

The first spherical hohlraum energetics experiment is accomplished on the SGIII-prototype laser facility. In the experiment, the radiation temperature is measured by using an array of flat-response x-ray detectors (FXRDs) through a laser entrance hole at four different angles. The radiation temperature and M-band fraction inside the hohlraum are determined by the shock wave technique.

Titin, the largest protein known, forms a giant filament in muscle where it spans the half sarcomere from Z disk to M band. Here we genetically targeted a stretch of 14 immunoglobulin-like and fibronectin type 3 domains that comprises the I-band/A-band (IA) junction and obtained a viable mouse model. Super-resolution optical microscopy (structured illumination microscopy, SIM) and electron microscopy were used to study the thick filament length and titin's molecular elasticity.

Myofilament proteins are responsible for cardiac contraction. The myofilament subproteome, however, has not been comprehensively analyzed thus far. In the present study, cardiomyocytes were isolated from rodent hearts and stimulated with endothelin-1 and isoproterenol, potent inducers of myofilament protein phosphorylation.
