[PDF][PDF] The three filament model of skeletal muscle stability and force production

W Herzog, T Leonard, V Joumaa… - Molecular & cellular …, 2012 - cdn.techscience.cn
Ever since the 1950s, muscle force regulation has been associated with the cross-bridge
interactions between the two contractile filaments, actin and myosin. This gave rise to what is …

Are titin properties reflected in single myofibrils?

JA Herzog, TR Leonard, A Jinha, W Herzog - Journal of biomechanics, 2012 - Elsevier
Titin is a structural protein in muscle that spans the half sarcomere from Z-band to M-line.
Although there are selected studies on titin's mechanical properties from tests on isolated …

Sarcomere overextension reduces stretch-induced tension loss in myofibrils of rabbit psoas

A Panchangam, W Herzog - Journal of biomechanics, 2011 - Elsevier
Stretch-induced damage to skeletal muscles results in loss of isometric tension. Although
there is no direct evidence, loss of tension has been implicitly assumed to be the …
