CTMR Investigator Alec Smith, PhD, recently had an R21 funded through the NIAMS that will be looking at developing human stem cell-based models of the muscle spindle for studying proprioceptive function in skeletal muscle. Additionally, he received an Award from the Weill Neurohub to develop models of the neuromuscular junction for studying amyotrophic lateral sclerosis…

Congratulations to CTMR Team Core D for their JGP May cover showing “A detailed computational model of striated muscle elucidates how mutations and drugs may alter twitch timing. The spatially explicit model simulates myosin motors connected within a compliant, contractile lattice, complete with thin filament regulation and varying mutation penetrance. The model yields data used…
CTMR/BioCAT collaboration leads to new PNAS paper “Structural OFF/ON transitions of myosin in relaxed porcine myocardium predict calcium-activated force“ The UW Center for Translational Muscle Research (CTMR) working with the Regnier Lab and the BioCAT x-ray beamline at the Advanced Photon Source of Argonne National Lab, explore the potential of sarcomere-targeted small molecules as treatments…
