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.

A recent review article titled "The Role of Rapsyn in Neuromuscular Junction and Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome" has been published by researchers from Nanchang University in China. Led by first ...

Abnormal function of the neuromuscular junction is associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and spinal muscular atrophy, and a human model will be ...

The purpose of this review is to examine current scientific evidence in support of (1) the “electrolyte depletion” and “dehydration” hypotheses and (2) the “altered neuromuscular control” hypothesis ...

The heparan sulphate proteoglycan agrin, which is encoded by a single gene, is known to be a key regulator of the formation of postsynaptic structures at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ).
