Myofibrillar but not actomyosin ATPase is depressed in failing myocardium from patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Since there is a similar depression of myofibrillar ATPase in mitral regurgitation myocardium, we investigated whether or not the hydrolytic and mechanical performances of myosin are altered by comparing the maximal actomyosin ATPase activity and the in vitro myosin motility of myocardial myosin from patients with mitral regurgitation heart failure with that of patients with normal ventricular function. The results show that there is no significant difference (P > .05) between nonfailing and failing values for either the maximal actomyosin ATPase activity (0.3 s-1.head-1) or the myosin motility (1 micron/s). These observations suggest that changes, other than in the myosin heavy chain, contribute to the altered myocardial performance in mitral regurgitation myocardium.

While acute exercise affects sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) function, the impact of resistance training remains unclear. The purpose of the present study was to investigate SR Ca handling plasticity in response to moderate- and high-volume strength training in elite rowers. Twenty elite male (n = 12) and female (n = 8) rowers performed three weekly strength training sessions for 8 weeks and were randomly allocated to either perform 3 sets (3-SET) or progressive increase from 5 to 10 sets (10-SET) of 10 repetitions during the training period.

Like other members of the myosin family, its biochemical kinetics are altered in response to changes in mechanical loads that resist the power stroke. However, myo1c is unique in that the primary force-sensitive kinetic transition is the isomerization that follows ATP binding, not ADP release as in other slow myosins.

The myosin light chains (MLCs) of non-muscle myosin II are known to regulate cellular architecture and generate cellular forces; they also have an increasingly emerging role in the progression of cancer. The phosphorylation state of the myosin light chains controls the activity of myosins that are implicated in invasion and proliferation. In cancers, when proliferation is greatly increased, cytokinesis relies on phosphorylated light chains to activate the contractile forces used to separate the cells.

: Cultivated meat, an alternative to conventional meat, has substantial potential for alleviating environmental and ethical concerns. This method of manufacturing meat involves the isolation of skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs) from donor animals, after which they proliferate in vitro and differentiate into primitive muscle fibers. The aim of this research was to evaluate how the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) gene regulates the myogenic differentiation of bovine skeletal muscle satellite cells (bSMSCs).
