The aim of this work was to investigate the gelation mechanism of curdlan on surimi using a myosin gel model. Experimental results showed that with increased levels of curdlan, the water-holding capacity, gel strength, and storage modulus of a myosin gel first increased and then decreased. The optimum level of curdlan was found to be 1%. Moreover, myosin-curdlan mixed gel showed decreased water liquidity based on the results of low-field nuclear magnetic resonance. The enhanced physicochemical properties of myosin-curdlan mixed gel were attributed to the strengthened hydrogen bonding and to the uniform and compact network structure shown by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results of this study suggest that curdlan has the potential to be used in surimi-based seafood products to enhance the gel structure.

In this study, the absolute electrostatic charge of myofibrillar protein (MP) was substantially increased by protein-glutaminase (PG) treatment, which was a critical step for achieving the dissociation and solubility of MP under low salt condition. The PG-treated MP exhibited the capacity to form thermo-reversible gels that could be melted through heating and subsequently reformed into a stable gel structure upon refrigeration. The results of SDS-PAGE further revealed that the levels of soluble monomeric myosin and actin in the supernatant of deamidated MP (DMP) gels were markedly elevated, and confirmed the increased formation of intermolecular disulfide bond between myosin and actin.

Cell migration towards stiff substrates has been coined as durotaxis and implicated in development, wound healing, and cancer, where complex interplays between immune and non-immune cells are present. Compared to the emerging mechanisms underlying the strongly adhesive mesenchymal durotaxis, little is known about whether immune cells - migrating in amoeboid mode - could follow mechanical cues. Here, we develop an imaging-based confined migration device with a stiffness gradient.

The effects of ethanol, 1,2-propanediol, and glycerol at concentrations from 10 % to 40 % on the thermal denaturation and aggregation of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) myosin were investigated. The results revealed that ethanol and 1,2-propanediol induced thermal denaturation of myosin more rapidly than glycerol, which minimally impacted the secondary structure. At 10 % concentration, 1,2-propanediol significantly influenced myosin's secondary structure more than ethanol.
