Cardiac muscle tissue is only found in your heart. It performs involuntary, coordinated contractions that allow your heart to pump blood through your circulatory system. Cardiac muscle tissue is one ...

The Moore lab investigates how proteins build contractile systems that power cells and whole organisms. Collaboratively, we connect molecular mechanisms to tissue-level performance using ...

The paper by Parmley et al. in this issue calls attention to the possible therapeutic use of glucagon in view of its possible inotropic and chronotropic effects in man. Such effects have previously ...
