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…
Proposals to the Pilot Grant program of the UW Center for Translational Muscle Research (CTMR) are now being accepted. This program supports the development of exciting new muscle research by enabling investigators to obtain preliminary data needed to apply for follow-on funding and receive training in new skills. Funding up to $25,000 (direct costs) is available. Applications are due…
