Along with triggering increased force in heart muscle contractions and accelerated calcium handling, stimulating the sweet ...

Cardiomyocytes consist of a complex membrane system that is subjected to high mechanical stress during heart muscle contractions. The so-called T-tubule network within the cells, which consists of ...

We employ single molecule fluorescence techniques and laser trapping assays to study: the mechanism and regulation muscle contraction, cell motility, and the regulation of cell shape. Our lab’s ...

Heart Rate Increase in rate of contraction of cardiac muscle - cardiac output increases Decrease in rate of contraction of cardiac muscle - cardiac output decreases Breathing Rate Smooth muscle of ...
