But when physiologist H. Lee Sweeney
of the University
of Pennsylvania School
of Medicine in Philadelphia and his colleagues put this faulty gene into embryonic quail muscle cells growing in lab dishes, the cells made a shortened version

contractile machinery.
The
contractile activity
of smooth muscle cells in the walls
of cerebral arteries determines the degree
of constriction they experience (known as arterial tone) and thereby controls blood flow.
«In this study, we developed a novel method for controlled crumpling

Specifically, lower isometric forces coupled with a lower twitch / tetanus ratio and lower rates
of force development and relaxation indicate that EDL muscles from IL - 15Rα — KO mice have adopted a slower
contractile phenotype.
These morphological data highlight a unique feature
of fast muscles that are IL - 15Rα deficient, which likely contributes to the slower
contractile characteristics we observed in these normally fast muscles.
The observation
of reduced calsequestrin in the muscles
of IL - 15Rα — KO mice is interesting inasmuch as calsequestrin concentrations are reported to be higher in fast muscles (52) and fast muscles from calsequestrin - 1 — null mice display
contractile characteristics similar to those
of slow muscles, including longer contraction times and half - relaxation times (ν RTs)(53).
Because the phenotypes were distinct in these knockout mouse models with respect to spontaneous cage activity and fast muscle isometric
contractile characteristics, we can conclude that the roles
