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 ...

Researchers have created a flexible memristor based on hexagonal boron nitride whose synaptic strength is programmed directly by bending, mimicking the mechanosensitive synapses of the neuromuscular ...

Newswise — 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 ...

Silencing hepatic C3 with GalNAc-targeted siRNA nearly eliminated plasma complement, preserved acetylcholine receptors, and ...

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 ...

Scientists discovered that age-related weakness may involve a breakdown in the signals telling your muscles to contract—not ...

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.

Discover how neuromuscular junction failure drives sarcopenia and how novel ion channel therapies restore strength. Read more ...

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 ...

A skeletal muscle isn’t much use without a signal telling it to move. In vertebrates, this signaling happens at the neuromus-cular junction (NMJ), a synaptic connection between motor neurons and ...

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 ...
