DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2020.144765
Abstract: The natural flight response in shrimp is powered by rapid contractions of the abdominal muscle fibres to propel themselves backwards away from perceived danger. This muscle contraction is dependent on repetitive depolarization of muscle plasma… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2018.06.028
Abstract: Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR), the process whereby a small influx of Ca2+ across the sarcolemma triggers a significantly larger Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), is at the heart of efficient cardiac excitation–contraction coupling… read more here.

Abstract: Skeletal and cardiac muscle excitation–contraction coupling commences with Nav1.4/Nav1.5-mediated, surface and transverse (T-) tubular, action potential generation. This initiates feedforward, allosteric or Ca2+-mediated, T-sarcoplasmic reticular (SR) junctional, voltage sensor-Cav1.1/Cav1.2 and ryanodine receptor-RyR1/RyR2 interaction.
