Your every move, from blinking to sprinting, depends on the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) — the tiny but powerful meeting point between nerve and muscle. Here, electrical signals transform into ...

"To investigate the mechanisms driving local TDP-43 accumulation, we combined human ALS biopsies, transgenic mouse models, and neuron–muscle co-cultures grown in microfluidic chambers that allow us to ...

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 ...

“Considering the cost and quality of life to the individual, we believe our study has important implications for management of age-related sarcopenia.” Sarcopenia is progressive loss of muscle mass ...

CDMO Andelyn Biosciences partnered with Amplo Biotechnology, which focuses on adeno-associated virus (AAV) regenerative medicines for neuromuscular junction-(NMJ) affecting conditions, to provide ...

New research shows how repetitive nerve stimulation and single fiber electromyography can help diagnose disorders such as myasthenia gravis. A new report highlights the strengths and shortcomings of ...
