The contractile function of smooth muscle relies on the dynamic interplay of three principal cytoskeletal networks: actin filaments, intermediate filaments and microtubules. Actin polymerisation and ...
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract layers exhibit distinct coordinated mechanical properties that enable efficient propulsion to facilitate nutrient assimilation 1,2,3,4,5. This complex process involves ...
RUDN University scientists have discovered that in weightlessness, the contractile activity of smooth muscles in the hollow organs of the gastrointestinal tract is disrupted. New data must be taken ...
