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.

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 ...

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 ...

The muscle transmembrane protein Vangl2 helps organize the development and maintenance of connections between muscles and motor neurons, a study concludes. A skeletal muscle isn’t much use without a ...

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 ...

After nerve injury, the protein complex mTORC1 takes over an important function in skeletal muscle to maintain the neuromuscular junction, the synapse between the nerve and muscle fiber. Researchers ...

Although WNTs have been long thought of as regulators of cell fate, recent studies highlight their involvement in crucial aspects of synaptic development in the nervous system. Particularly compelling ...

Non-motile cilia of the (9 + 2) pattern, having a specialized onion-like root structure, act as sensitive receptors of water displacement and thereby detect vibrations of small objects in the water ...
