Fb seeded in collagen matrices induced no contraction, whereas p-MyoFb and non-p-MyoFb induced 2.5- and four-fold contraction.
When the lattices were of the required size (approximately four-fold contraction), 3 × 10 H16N-2 cells from the desired lines were seeded on top of the lattices and incubated as submerged cultures for 3 4 days in H16N-2 media.
The high cholesterol diet increased, by nearly 2-fold, contractions of the jejunal longitudinal smooth muscle elicited by carbachol.
Rivas-Pardo, J. A. et al. Work done by titin protein folding assists muscle contraction.
Human umbilical vein (HUV) from planned cesarean-sections (PCS) showed a 1.7-fold higher maximum contraction with potassium chloride compared to spontaneous vaginal deliveries (VDs, p=0.029).
Finally, the NO donor SNAP increased the amplitude of contractions 2.8 fold (n = 6, P<0.01), and decreased the frequency of contractions 1.5 fold in both weldtype and knockout myocytes (Fig. 5C, P<0.05).
Earlier this year, using the fashionable sports word "contraction," M.L.S. folded two of its teams and laid off several employees.
Relative to osteogenic conditions, non-osteogenic MSC cultures exhibited a more than 2-fold increase in gel contraction.
Shortly after Toole's resignation, the league, already in contraction mode, folded, and Toole went on to work for something called "Super Independent Baseball". The SIB website doesn't appear to have been updated in a couple years, so that probably died as well.
CD8+ T cells specific for an HLA A2-restricted epitope in the early lytic protein, BMLF-1, (GLCTLVAML; hereafter abbreviated A2-BMLF-1 CD8+ T cells) were also highly expanded during AIM, but underwent a smaller contraction (12.2-fold decrease in mean value) in convalescence.
