During neuromuscular junction (NMJ) development, target muscle cells become innervated by the axonal arbor of one motor neuron. As the muscle grows, the arbor size increases and new synapses are added ...

In an aging society, one of the most important and urgent tasks of scientific research is to counteract the decline in motor function and muscle weakness that accompanies the aging process. A research ...

Contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO) Andelyn Biosciences has entered a collaboration with Amplo Biotechnology to manufacture adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapies to ...

Nipocalimab might lower the concentration of anti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies in people with generalized myasthenia gravis, a study shows. PHOENIX, Arizona—Nipocalimab might lower the ...

NMD Pharma publishes new data on the role of ClC-1 inhibition in Charcot-Marie-Tooth in the Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology Results from the ESTABLISH 1 observational study confirms ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new study reveals a dazzling degree of biological diversity in an unexpected place – a single neural connection in the body wall of flies. A new study reveals a dazzling degree of biological ...

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 ...
