Thick filament mechano-sensing is a calcium-independent regulatory mechanism in skeletal muscle

Recent data suggest that muscle contraction is regulated by thick filament mechano-sensing in addition to the well-known thin filament-mediated calcium signalling pathway. Here the authors provide direct evidence that myosin activation in skeletal muscle is controlled by thick filament stress indepe...
