(September 29, 2005, La Jolla, CA) Scientists from the Burnham Institute for Medical Research and the University of Vermont have captured the first 3-dimensional (3D) atomic-resolution images of the ...

In a decades-long effort, researchers have discovered how to tweak the molecular pathways that turn heart muscle motors up or ...

At the molecular level, muscle contraction is defined by myosin molecules pulling actin filaments. New electron cryomicroscopy images with unprecedented resolution taken by researchers at Osaka ...

"This process appears to be regulated by myosin-binding protein-C (cMyBP-C), which is a heart muscle protein," study author Kerry McDonald said. "Our study investigated its role in cardiac muscle ...

It was 1975, and Thomas Stossel and John Hartwig were baffled by the "ugly precipitate" in the bottom of their test tube. Eager young biologists, the Harvard friends had set out to solve the mystery ...
