The giant protein titin regulates the length of the striated muscle thick filament

Thick filaments in skeletal muscle and heart are composed of myosin. The authors show that the length of thick filaments is defined by titin, and that alterations in titin length affect force generation and lead to dilated cardiomyopathy in mice.

Here, the authors present archaeology of the Namorotukunan site in Kenya’s Turkana Basin that demonstrates adaptive shifts in hominin tool-making behaviour spanning 300,000 years and increasing environmental variability. They contextualize these findings with paleoenvironmental proxies, dating, and geological descriptions.

On the Planckian bound for heat diffusion in insulators

At high temperature, the heat diffusion in an insulator is expected to be dominated by entirely classical phonon dynamics. But theoretical study shows that the transport lifetime is subject to a quantum-mechanical bound related to the sound velocity.

Triggering typical nemaline myopathy with compound heterozygous nebulin mutations reveals myofilament structural changes as pathomechanism

Nebulin-based nemaline myopathy is a heterogenous disease with unclear pathological mechanisms. Here, the authors generate a mouse model that mimics the most common genetic cause of the disease and demonstrate that muscle weakness in this model is associated with twisted actin filaments and altered tropomyosin and troponin behaviour.

Hibernating brown bears maintain their muscle mass, which is due to a drastic reduction in metabolic rate. Here, De Napoli et al. show that this is partly due to a reduction of energy consumption by the motor protein myosin in resting skeletal muscle that increases the super relaxed state stability.
