The neuromuscular junction - where nerves and muscle fibers meet - is an essential synapse for muscle contraction and movement. Improper function of these junctions can lead to the development of ...

Neuromuscular diseases are caused by problems in the way muscle cells, motor neurons, and peripheral cells interact. Researchers from the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz ...

James F. Howard Jr, MD, professor of neurology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, explains how nerve and muscle signaling in the neuromuscular junction go awry in myasthenia gravis.

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hesperos, Inc. has increased its pioneering human-on-a-chip drug testing capabilities by adding a new in vitro, human-human neuromuscular model to its patented ...

A specific RNA molecule can halt and reverse the nerve cell damage of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a study in mice suggests, a discovery that may pave the way for effective future treatments for the ...

The distribution and function of sympathetic innervation in skeletal muscle have largely remained elusive. Here we demonstrate that sympathetic neurons make close contact with neuromuscular junctions ...

The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a specialised synapse responsible for translating neuronal signals into muscle contractions, forming the basis of voluntary movement and postural control. Integral ...

Researchers have created a human-derived neuromuscular junction from a person with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with the goal of testing anti-ALS drugs that not only prevent neuronal death but ...

Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMSs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders that affect the safety margin of neuromuscular transmission — the depolarization that is required for propagation of the ...
