Journal ArticleDOI
Titin: major myofibrillar components of striated muscle
Kuan Wang,Janela McClure,Ann Tu +2 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that titin is a structurally conserved myofibrillar component of vertebrate and invertebrate striated muscles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell refractive index for cell biology and disease diagnosis: past, present and future
P. Y. Liu,P. Y. Liu,Lip Ket Chin,Wee Ser,H. F. Chen,Chao Mao Hsieh,Chau-Hwang Lee,Kung-Bin Sung,T. C. Ayi,Peng Huat Yap,Bo Liedberg,Kuan Wang,Kuan Wang,Tarik Bourouina,Yamin Leprince-Wang +14 more
TL;DR: An overview of cell refractive index models and measurement techniques including microfluidic chip-based techniques for the last 50 years are provided, the applications and significance of cellRefractive index in cell biology, hematology, and pathology are presented, and future research trends in the field are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Approach to Nearest Neighbor Analysis of Membrane Proteins APPLICATION TO THE HUMAN ERYTHROCYTE MEMBRANE OF A METHOD EMPLOYING CLEAVABLE CROSS-LINKAGES
Kuan Wang,Frederic M. Richards +1 more
TL;DR: The observed cross-linking patterns of broken ghosts and intact cells treated with these membrane-permeable reagents are almost identical except for the addition of hemoglobin complexes in the latter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of skeletal muscle stiffness and elasticity by titin isoforms: a test of the segmental extension model of resting tension.
TL;DR: Immunoelectron microscopic studies of an epitope in the extensible segment of titin revealed a transition in the elastic behavior of the titin filaments near the yield point sarcomere length of these muscles, providing direct evidence of tit in's involvement in the genesis of resting tension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Filamin, a new high-molecular-weight protein found in smooth muscle and non-muscle cells.
Kuan Wang,J. F. Ash,S. J. Singer +2 more
TL;DR: A new high-molecular-weight protein, named filamin, was isolated from chicken gizzard and was found largely to be arranged as a filamentous array very similar to that found for myosin in cultured cells.
