Trypanosoma cruzi down-regulates mechanosensitive proteins in cardiomyocytes
Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 114 (), 2019
BACKGROUND Cardiac physiology depends on coupling and electrical and mechanical coordination through the intercalated disc. Focal adhesions offer mechanical support and signal transduction events during heart contraction-relaxation processes. Talin links integrins to the actin cytoskeleton and serves as...
