Glycerol storage increases passive stiffness of muscle fibers through effects on titin extensibility | Journal of General Physiology | Rockefeller University Press To store and preserve muscle function, glycerol is often used, but its effect on passive properties is unclear. Muscles stored in glycerol showed increased

[🚨New paper alert!]
If you store muscle tissue in glycerol-mixed solution for long-term preservation, check out our new paper published in @jgp.org. Glycerol storage significantly elevates passive stiffness of muscle fibers in a titin-specific manner!

Residual force depression in cardiac myofibrils History-dependent properties, such as residual force depression (rFD; i.e., the decrease in steady-state isometric force of a muscle, following active…

πŸ“’Another single myofibrillar work just published at @jbiomech.bsky.social! We found single cardiac myofibrils exhibit residual force depression after active shortening, similar to what's been found in skeletal muscle. Want more details? Check it out below!

Gaining new understanding of sarcomere length non-uniformities in skeletal muscles Sarcomere lengths are non-uniform on all structural levels of mammalian skeletal muscle. These nonuniformities have been associated with a variety of mechanical properties, including residual force en...

Paper alert!πŸ“’
We systematically explored the nature of sarcomere length non-uniformity using single myofibrils, and found that sarcomere length non-uniformity does NOT occur randomly in both active and passive states!

Image that makes me excited every time I see - single myofibrils labelled with fluorescent dyes. Trying to capture videos to see how these labels move during passive/active lengthening and shortening!
