striated muscle cell

Conclusions This is a first report on the p27 protein expression in normal and abnormal human striated muscle cells in vivo.

In skeletal muscle, on the other hand, striated muscle cells are most frequently transfected, but seem to be unimportant in mounting an immune response.

The costamere is a structural-functional component of striated muscle cells which connects the sarcomere of the muscle to the cell membrane.

L-type calcium channels are also enriched in the t-tubules of striated muscle cells, i.e., skeletal and cardiac myofibers.

Altogether, these observations indicate that, in addition to the striated muscle cells, the cytoplasmic and plasma membrane p27 expression can be observed (under certain circumstances) in other cell types.

The data presented also indicate that additional principal cell types in the pelvic floor show LHR expression, including stromal and fascial fibroblasts and striated muscle cells.

A PAX3/FKHR fusion gene is often associated with the alveolar type of rhabdomyosarcoma, a kind of cancer arisen from striated muscle cells.

To our knowledge, LHR expression in fibroblasts, striated muscle cells, and microglial cells (CD68+ resident macrophages) in the central nervous system is presented for the first time.

The basic unit of organisation of these contractile proteins in striated muscle cells (i.e., the cells that compose cardiac and skeletal muscle, but not in smooth muscle tissue) is called the sarcomere.

Muscle cells (myocytes) are elongated and classified and or compatible as either striated muscle cells or smooth muscle cells depending on the presence or absence, respectively, of organized, regularly repeated arrangements of myofibrillar contractile proteins called myofilaments.

Mature striated muscle cells make muscle-specific proteins and when such a cell is fused with a variety of other cell types which include liver and cartilage cells, then muscle-specific genes are activated in these cells leading to the production of muscle-specific proteins.

The main advantage offered by interference microscopy measurements is the possibility of measuring the projected dry mass of living cells, which was first effectively exploited by Andrew Huxley in studies of striated muscle cell structure and function, leading to the sliding filament model of muscle contraction.

They physically couple force-generating sarcomeres with the sarcolemma in striated muscle cells and are thus considered one of several "Achilles' heels" of skeletal muscle, a critical component of striated muscle morphology which, when compromised, is thought to directly contribute to the development of several distinct myopathies.
