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 ...
A research group conducted experiments using aged mice to demonstrate that muscle denervation at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ, *1) could be appreciably offset by an NMJ formation-enhancing ...
When the Human Genome Project was complete, DNA bowed out of the limelight and gave way to RNA as a major player in genetic regulation. Now, new findings mirror this ideological shift, revealing that ...
A research group from the Sackler Faculty of Medicine and the Sagol School of Neuroscience at Tel Aviv University uncovered, for the first time, the biological mechanism causing nerve destruction in ...
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 ...
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — A protein that has shown early promise in preventing the loss of muscle function in mouse models of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, has been found in a new study to ...
