4. 2. Regulation of striated muscle contraction

   Author : Ying Dou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background and Aims: Muscle contraction involves cross-bridge interaction between actin and myosin filaments, which is regulated by variations of intracellular [Ca2+] and influenced by several external control systems. To characterize the mechanism of contraction, we have studied the effects of pharmacological compounds influencing the actin-myosin interaction and/or Ca2+ activation systems. READ MORE

5. 3. Cell signaling and regulation of smooth muscle contraction from a physiological and a pathophysiological perspective

   Author : Lena Boberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to examine the cell signaling and regulation of smooth muscle in different smooth muscle tissues and under pathophysiological conditions. The thesis is based on 4 papers and the experimental work is based on in vitro studies in mouse. READ MORE
