The paper describes methodological advances at the LiX beamline for high-throughput muscle diffraction experiments on human and animal muscle tissues.

This study shows that myosin inhibition with mavacamten is effective in treating HCM caused by both truncating and missense variants in MYBPC3, despite different pathomechanisms.

This study shows that different MyBP-C paralogs have similar effects on cross-bridge cycling but distinct responses to rapid stretch, with MyBP-C limiting strain-induced detachment in fast-twitch muscles.

This paper investigates how piperine affects resting thick filament activation and dynamic contractility in fast and slow rat skeletal muscles, finding fiber-type-dependent enhancements in contractile function.

This study examines how mavacamten affects skeletal muscle structure by reducing ON-state myosin heads and shortening thin filament length, similar to its effects in cardiac muscle.

This study investigates the effects of MyBP-C knockout in skeletal muscle, finding altered length-dependent activation and myofilament structure, with implications for MyBP-C-related diseases.

This study shows that MyBP-CC1C7 domains form C-links and stabilize myosin OFF states, affecting crossbridge kinetics and sarcomere function.

The paper investigates how titin-based forces affect cardiac myofilament structures under stretch, supporting the Frank-Starling mechanism.

This study examines changes in skeletal muscle myosin metabolic states during hibernation in different mammals, finding reduced ATP consumption and potential mechanisms for energy conservation.
